Description of problem: When having more than a hand full of guests in virt-manager is becomes cumbersome to find the right guest. The sorting is based on alphabet which is not appropriate for all use cases. For example I name my guests after their FQDN and would like to group them by there domain. I propose to introduce some grouping construct for guests. Options are: 1. Single level grouping 2. multilevel grouping 3. tagging, giving the possibility to have multiple viewpoints Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
this requires some UI design as it is going to affect the main window. I am going to move this request upstream.
We've made an explicit design decision with virt-manager to not target large numbers of VMs, so this grouping feature isn't something we want to implement. gtk has built in tree searching, try using ctrl+f to find the VM name you want, or kick off operations using virsh instead.
