Hi,
I've been working with virt-manager and I found out that it doesn't
remember the last image directory at all so I created a patch that
writes a configuration to file after the storagebrowse dialog is closed
but only if user chooses file storage (no device storage). Really useful
when you use one folder as a domain image storage path and you don't
want to use default path for KVM/Xen...
If anything, just ask me,
Michal

Make virt-manager remember last chosen image directory
Virt-manager never remembers last image directory after choosing file an image
file to be appended to any domain. Since I am having all the domain image files
in the same directory that is not default, this patch saves the last image path
to gconf configuration file and offers it as startfolder next time.
