The problem is: libvirt treats an ISO file as format 'raw' instead of
'iso' for some storage pool types because that those file are not
listed for the template creation.
We could scan the file using isoinfo.IsoImage to verify it is an ISO
file - but it will take too much time to scan each file.

If user selects to create a template using an ISO file the only
support type is ISO.
Shall we enable a user-label function to let users label a
storage
volume as ISO if he knows it is a valid one. And then shallow scan can
scan volumes with this label for distros, and can present it in template
creation page?
