Hi,

Before saying anything, i want to say thank you. it is very useful and usable application.
We are very happy to use it.

There is a problem, may be it is not but it is required feature i think.

"templates & cloning"

the situation is like that;

we have a template directory : /var/lib/libvirt/templates/ -> Read-Only, only template disks
and we are using default directory for images : /var/lib/libvirt/images

when i want to clone template or using create from template, the app tries to create new image to on template disk by default.
this causes error because it is read only directory and also i do not want that.

i wish there is a choice to select storage for destination. it is required for cloning and create from template.

is it suitable ?

thanks
sincerely
