Comment 2 Julie Pichon 2013-10-21 15:30:03 UTC
Comparing the available options in disk-format and container-format (thanks for including the `glance help image-create` tip), it looks like Horizon is currently showing the list of Disk Formats by default (not a mix of both).

Looking at the upstream Glance documentation, Container Format does not currently matter and has a reasonable default: "Note that the container format string is not currently used by Glance or other OpenStack components, so it is safe to simply specify bare as the container format if you are unsure."

My preference would be to leave the current form as is rather than add an option that isn't actually necessary. Please feel free to reopen if you disagree. Also for reference this field has recently become configurable as of RHOS 4.0 / Havana [1].
