Description Fred van Zwieten 2011-05-01 14:33:43 UTC

I would like to request that a description "field" be added to the overview display of virt-manager. Add an option in the view menu to display it or not. There is a description entry in the VM's xml file, but it's far to large for display. I am more looking for a small functional description of the VM. An alternative would be to have this text displayed when one hovers the mouse over the server entry.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-05-02 06:00:36 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

I think showing the guest description in a tooltip for the guest row in the main window is a good idea, should be an easy addition for 6.2

Comment 5 Fred van Zwieten 2011-06-11 06:08:49 UTC

I agree
