Feature-request: New Storage GUI: The CD-ROM menu in VM

[Technologov]

========================================

Section 2: The CD-ROM menu in VM

========================================

The CD-ROM menu requires too many point-and-clicks. It is frequently used, and needs to be very convenient for the first CD-ROM.

I think we can merge ideas from VBox 3.0.x and v3.1.0... into this... Do it as in VBox 3.0, but with multiple CDs...

Each CD must have 2 entries, not one.... The current nesting of the menus further down the tree might seem more organized, but will actually just be a pain to use. (by MarkCranness)

This solves several problems: (positive)

1. This deisgn is friendly to current users (Vbox 3.0)

2. Less point-and-clicks to unmount media. (1 CD VM)

3. This idea is minor redesign and can be implemented in V3.1.x -- afterwards we may re-think the GUI design again.

4. Hides IDE controllers technical background from menu on multi-CD VMs.

5. Huge decrease of point-and-clicks for multi-CD VMs.

This doesn't solve problems: (neutral)

1. Fast mounting of CD from ISO file... Related to Wish #5458

This hurts the current Design in the following ways: (negative)

1. (None Found, except that it hides IDE controllers technical background, I believe this is good one... but it is debatable)

The proposed idea can be seen in the attached screenshot.

Currently we do not intend to implement this.
Actually I do not like that idea because I do not want to garbage the 'device' menu of running VM.
