Handle canceling of the workflow of initialize and start when I have to paste pull secret into command palette input box

[odockal]

I was in a situation when I wanted to initialize and start OpenShift local via Podman Desktop dashboard. I pressed the button and command palette input box popped up. I did not want to search, open file of pull secret + copy paste the content, so I pressed the ESC keyboard so I can set the pull secret file path in preferences page. But the state of the operation is still "Initializing", seems it is hanging.

Imho, there are two things:

• bug: Handle canceling of the workflow. Not even force reload helped, so there is still "initializing".
• Enhancement: Let use pick up if he want to provide file path of the pull secret file or paste the content. Suggestion: Let user decide if he wants to provide a file path or paste the content: Command palette 1: Please choose how do you want to provide pull secret: [2: "Browse for the file", 3: "Insert the content"], if 2: provide user an input box where he can insert the path else (3): actual solution -> input box for text

so I pressed the ESC keyboard so I can set the pull secret file path in preferences page.

Escaping to break out of the dialog should be prevented. This has been a request before towards the PD team, such as treating the dialogs as modal. https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues/1992

the alternative would be for us to restart the process, but this is involved ...

Depends on: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues/1920

so I can set the pull secret file path

Should be an option from the dialog
