Hi,

Unless I'm missing something, there is a slight UX/UI issue with the process of creating a VM and uploading a new OS image.

When checking the option to upload a new OS image, the upload works fine, however it is then unclear in the UI if the newly uploaded image is automatically selected as the image to be mounted - especially if a different image is selected in the top file selector. The top file selector never refreshes, so it's not possible to select the newly uploaded image in this selector without completely exiting the VM creation process and starting again.

Am I missing something? Or should this go in as a minor bug to be fixed?

Cheers,
Seb

Further testing shows that if the new image file is uploaded and the 'NEXT' button is clicked immediatly, then the uploaded file is used. However if between uploading and clicking next any action is taken in the top file selector, it switches to whatever is selected in this selector at which point it is impossible to selected the newly uploaded file again without actualy re-uploading it.

I think it's just a little UI quirk that needs sorting - bascially to hide the top file selector when the upload option is selected and make it clear to the user the newly uploaded file is automatically selected to be mounted.
