Package: virtinst
Version: 0.500.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi

while virtinst is doing its thing, it is less than userfriendly. Its not
even adminfriendly, the interface is a direct loss actually.

Now, to make it a bit better it misses two things:
a.) config file. Why would one always use commandline? Especially on a
    system with multiple admins thats not good, a central config file
    somewhere so you can end up just giving name (and maybe memory), all
    the rest is read in, would be the way to go.
b.) place to add hooks. I may want or need to run varios actions right
    before, while or after creating a new vm. v-i doesnt really offer an
    easy way.

Yes, I know, I can all achieve by coding myself, but then why would I
want something like virtinst when I have to do stuff myself instead of a
tool made for it?

bye, Joerg
