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?
