Description
I was installing a new VM on a newly set up host. I usually download a Ubuntu mini ISO image from the Ubuntu website and install the VM using this mini ISO. When first starting the new VM, VirtualBox automatically asks for an installation medium. From the dropdown box, I can choose my DVD drive. I don't want to navigate to the Downloads folder to choose the mini.iso, so I think it would be good if VirtulBox scans the Downloads folder before and shows available and valid ISO images.

If we make the file selector to goto the download folder (how do we decide what folder is that is another question) I am sure there will be riots. We currently go to most recently used folder which is a solution that makes most people happy. Sorry for the extra mouse clicks you have to do.
Which Downloads folder would that be? Because I have a personal Downloads folder, a system Downloads one, plus the one that I'm usually downloading in the NAS server that I have, and which I'm choosing the ISO from.
Modifying the default, not-specific behavior to suit your needs would destroy mine! :)
