[Kimchi-devel] Storage Volume and selected disks

[Aline Manera]

Hi Samuel,

We don't have multiple selection implemented in Kimchi yet.
There are some discussions about that, but, today, each resource has its 
own "Actions" drop down.

Thinking about that, I'd suggest to follow this. In the storage volume 
list view, the "Actions" menu would be displayed in each line (similar 
to what we have in Guest, Templates, Storage pools and Network). And in 
the galley view, we should follow the same we have for Guests and Templates.

I understand the multiple selection is a requested feature, but we need 
first discuss on how to implement it and follow the same guideline 
across the whole application.

There is no option/feature to convert the storage volume to a new 
format. So you can ignore the mockup which has it as a valid action.

The actions allowed in a storage volume is: delete, clone, resize and 
wipe. Some of those actions may be not allowed depending on storage pool 
type.

The 'Add' storage volume action is displayed in the storage pool level. 
Would be good to move it to the storage volume level to follow the same 
approach for the other resources? Any suggestion?

Activate/Deactivate and Undefine options are storage *pool* actions. And 
they are not related to storage *volume*

So we will need a new Actions menu specific for storage volume actions.
