the 'properties' button.
+ Show box display resolution on window resize.
+ Automatically save/pause VMs running in background, except for

+ Tell SPICE to also upscale the display when needed so that we
don't end up with a very tiny box display on hidpi screens when
no autoresolution is in effect (e.g boot loader screen or
guests with no qxl/agent).
+ Download files to temporary location first. This fixes the
issue of Boxes trying to use partially downloaded files.

being saved.

leading into interesting scenerios if user clicks on the

in different views.
+ Add Esc shortcut for cancelling wizard.
+ Focus 'Create' button on last page of wizard so that user can

calculate the maximum value for disk capacity. It should simply
be the space available on host disk.

setting size to valuex1024.
+ Refresh disk info after resizing disk of running machines.
Otherwise we keep showing the older value when user goes back
to properties.
+ Disable 'save on timeout' all together for storage volume size
change since that easily leads to horrible user experience: You
accidently increase the capacity to too high value and if you
are not quick enough to change it again, you'll not be able to
correct this ever as we don't support shrinking of volumes.
+ Allow shrinking storage volumes in wizard.
+ Fix a crasher bug.
+ Add info about runtime deps and reporting bugs to README.
+ Add a HACKING file for people interested in developing Boxes.
+ Report progress for non-http(s) downloads as well.

changing all the properties.

to forget ongoing installations once user quit the application

- Bump default storage allocation to 20 GiB.
. This should be adequate storage for most OSs out there.

actual amount of disk space used is completely dependent on
the OS.
- Special handling of live and unknown OS media:
. Create initially transient box and only make it permanent
if media installs anything on the storage.
. Skip 'Setup' and 'Review' pages.
