Open Stack

Hi,

I don't think this is possible. Importing an image to glance is not  
just having an image path but also creating a UUID, adding metadata,  
don't know what else there is involved. I'm not a dev, maybe it would  
be possible without too much effort, but someone with more glance  
experience should comment on that. I just noticed that nobody had  
responded in a week.

Regards,
Eugen
