[feature request] direct libvirt xml file editing #1238

Open zingmars opened 6 years ago

zingmars commented 6 years ago

Sometimes you want to go crazy with experimentation, sometimes your GUI might not have caught up with the latest and greatest. In any case, it would be great if you could manually edit virtual machine's libvirt xml definition though the Kimchi GUI.

It sounds great, but you can update that file with virsh in console.

zingmars commented 6 years ago

Sure, but what's the point for a web UI if you can do literally everything in the console anyway?

saulhuerta commented 6 years ago

I think there are many duties that you can do in GUI, but some tasks requires execute manually. I understand you, and it's an opportunity to develop or contribute to this tool.
