Why are we using a save button for each tab in that dialog? That's
definitely not a common user experience. One would expect that a
"Save" button in that dialog would apply all changes done in the
dialog, not on that tab alone. What if the user wants to change the VM
name and permission (and the password, after the next patch)? They
will need to open the "Edit Guest" dialog, changing the value they
want to change, and then saving that value alone. /Three times./
That's not a good flow.
IMO, we should have only one "Save" button which, when clicked,
applies all the changes done in that dialog. Not a button which does
different things depending on which tab the user is on.
1. Right now, there are already many options when editing VM, and I
believe there will be more and more.
Each time user edit VM, they will only edit one or two options(a
small portion of all), save all the options back is inefficient and go
against user's intension.
2. The design need to be changed to save what user has changed and allow
user to change at a fine granularity, I noticed that virt-manager did a
good job here.
In virt-manager, user can update anything in a quite fine
granularity and the 'apply' button feels quite make sense to indicate
that it just update what user is changing.
