Bug Description

Go through the wizard for creating a new VM and enter a bogus path for the disk, something like /tmp/foo/bar.img. When you try to move forward, you'll get an error that the path doesn't exist. I'd like to see that dialog offer to create that directory for me.

The wizard in the version of virt-manager currently in Lucid does allow creating a new disk image. Closing this bug.
