[Kimchi-devel] Kimchi feedback

[Royce Lv]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for feedback of these issues.
The issues you mentioned are:
1. There is no convenient way to upload a image.
2. When image is uploaded, too complex to fix its permission and get it 
work.
3. Warning msg disappear too quickly to see.

As 1 and 2 are related to a feature I'm working on, I want to share with 
you our proposal and see if you like it from view of user:
1. convenient way to upload image:
(1) As flow of :
ISO server--download-->your laptop--upload-->your server
is too long, we will supply with a dialog to let users to fill a web 
link and kimchi server will downloaded from the ISO server. So the flow 
becomes:
ISO server--download-->your virtualization server
number of download sessions will be limited.

(2) An upload interface will also be provided if you want to upload ISO 
from your laptop.
also number of sessions will be limited

2. complex permission fix problem:
A dedicate directory will created for ISOs, and this directory will be 
monitored, if an ISO is scp to this directory, monitor will call a 
script to change permission.

and for 3,
I think we can add a box to store historical error msg (10 items 
restored), so that user won't miss the latest ones.

Aline,
If we are good with my proposal, can I add it to the plan of next print?
