To keep things organized, I had put ISOs in subfolders, like Windows10, VirtIO, Ubuntu1804, etc. 

But then I can't choose them; only from the root folder; in my case AllISOs.

Hope this is/will be possible (in the future)

It was possible in previous releases, can't pinpoint the last one it worked in. @bonienl should be able to fix fairly quickly.

 

Until it's fixed, you can always manually type the full path to the file you wish to use. Yes, I know that's a pain, and you have to have another window open to get the full path and filename unless you have photographic memory, but it will work.

Which screen exactly you can't select the ISO file, perhaps post a screenshot?

When you create a new VM or edit an existing one in form view, the ISO selection for both OS install and VirtIO drivers are limited to paths inside the defined ISO location, there is no .. available at the top of the file listing to navigate back up the tree to select arbitrary paths like you can in the docker path selection boxes.

 

I feel this was done on purpose, but it feels like an unnecessary restriction, I think it would suffice to populate the drop down initially with the VM manager configured paths, but it would be nice to allow graphical browsing to other array locations inside the /mnt structure.

 

Perhaps I am remembering it wrong, but I'm pretty sure in 6.6 at least we were allowed to navigate freely in the selection drop down.

You can adjust the setting "Default ISO storage path" under VM settings to point to a higher folder.

 

A restriction was made in the folder selection to disallow browsing outside the ISO folder structure.

If you adjust that path, where will the VirtIO image download end up? I certainly don't want it downloaded to /mnt

Preferably, I would like the VirtIO images to exist in a subfolder of the iso location, not the root.

I have set "Default ISO storage path" to "/mnt/cache/ISOs/"

 

Under the folder "ISOs" I have created multiple folders

root@vesta:/mnt/cache/ISOs# ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 ronald users 72 Dec 26 15:07 Other
drwxrwxrwx 1 ronald users 94 Dec 26 15:06 Ubuntu
drwxrwxrwx 1 ronald users 44 Dec 26 15:09 VirtIO
drwxrwxrwx 1 ronald users 76 Dec 26 15:09 Windows 10

This allows me to select the install ISO

 

And VirtIO ISO

If you go to the advanced view of the VM Manager settings, and select a previously undownloaded VirtIO image in the Default Windows VirtIO driver ISO, where does it download to? Can you select the destination to be your /mnt/cache/ISOs/VirtIO folder?

You have a point.

Downloads are stored in the folder set as storage path, I needed to move the files manually to the subfolder.
