Hi,

thanks for your reply!
Since it would be a really small change I was curious if I couldn't do  
it myself. In the "Launch instance" dialog I wanted to show additional  
information for every image in the "Source" tab, in my case the image  
description. Currently, this dropdown only contains Min disk and Min  
ram.
So for everyone interested in what I did, this is the minor change:

    </div>
---cut here---

You can see the result in the attached screenshot. We find it very  
useful since there can be many similar images in glance and it's  
helpful to be able to understand the differences between these images  
without being forced to exit the dialog.

Maybe this little patch even makes it to upstream ;-)

Regards,
Eugen
