GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 672159
gnome-boxes should remember the iso that was selected when going back from the 'configuration' screen

Create a new box, select manually an iso file from the harddrive, then go back, the selection is lost and you have to go again pick the file.

Going back may be a mistake, may be to check what file was picked, ... In case he wants to pick a new file name, whether the old filename was kept or not won't make a difference, if he does not want to change the filename, not keeping it will be annoying. And I don't see a case where keeping the old filename would be undesirable/annoying.
question: do you mean going back from within the wizard or after you have exited the wizard, created a VM and hit "Create" again?
ah going back in the wizard: select an iso, on the next wizard page press "previous", you have to choose the iso image again. When hitting Create again, reselecting the same iso will be handled by the recent document thingie.

By any chance, would it be possible to keep the iso list displayed but highlight the select ISO somehow? I just tested this today and the behaviour is a bit weird imo.
(In reply to comment #7) > By any chance, would it be possible to keep the iso list displayed but > highlight the select ISO somehow? Yeah should be possible. but we should keep this behavior for URI/File selected/entered manually though.
