I thought of a way to make qemu-img much more user-friendly. When the user
opens qemu-img without any arguments, we could present a prompt that guides the
user on making an image file.
This illustrates what I think should happen.
<after user double-clicks on qemu-img...>
Please select a format (qcow, qcow2, raw, vdi, vhdx, vmdk, vpc, vvfat):
qcow2
Please enter a size (e.g. 100M, 10G):
4G
Please enter a name:
WinXP.qcow2
Creating image file...done
The interactive prompt would contain enough options to make a usable image
file. If the user wants to use some of the more advanced features of qemu-img
he or she would still need to use the command-line.
Would such a patch be welcomed?
