[Engine-devel] Confusing "Attach Disk" checkbox in Add Virtual Disk dialog

Hi all, I find the new "Attach Disk" checkbox very confusing. It doesn't feel like a feature of the dialog but some kind of a disk property laid in the wrong place. I'd expect toggling between two ways of adding disk using tabs or inner menu. even simple inner " add | attach " feels more friendly. Is that an early sketch waiting to be changed? - Roy

Totally agree it is confusing, and that it seems misplaced. There is a radio button in this dialog, for internal/external disk. I'd add another one for attach disk. Thinking of it, (Roy - perhaps I'm saying what you said, but in my own words), it would be nice if the dialog has three different tabs (instead of radio buttons) for these options (add internal disk/add external disk/attach existing disk).
I'd expect toggling between two ways of adding disk using tabs or inner menu. even simple inner " add | attach " feels more friendly.

+1 did you create bz already?:)
