Description Mirela Rabulea 2016-01-18 12:30:52 UTC
I have been told that Hob is deprecated and to be replaced by Toaster, still I have some changes already made on Hob, which I would like to push.

The current behavior of Hob is that there is a "Run Image" button which becomes visible only for qemu images.

My suggested change is:
- if an image is selected and it is , let the "Run image" button be named "Run qemu image"
- if an image is selected and it is not qemu-compatible, let the same button show up with the name "Run custom image", and besides that, an option shows-up to allow the selection of the custom script (by default it points out to runqemu script) to be used for launching this custom image

There are a few words missing here:
- if an image is selected and it is QEMU COMPATIBLE, let the "Run image" button be named "Run qemu image"
