Describe the issue

Steps

  1. Install UTM
  2. Open UTM
    image
  3. Click Create a New Virtual Machine
    image
  4. Click Virtualize
    image
  5. Click Windows
  6. Uncheck Import VHDX Image (the I in Image should probably be i) -- see https://docs.microsoft.com › ... › Desktop manufacturing
    Oct 1, 2021 — Maintaining and deploying a common reference VHDX image to execute in either
  7. Click Browse
    image
  8. Note that the button for closing the file picker is Cancel and not Close
  9. Select an ISO and click Open
  10. Click Next
  11. Click Next
  12. Click Next
    image
  13. Offhand, the Browse/Clear things feel wrong, but I can't find a point of reference.
  14. I'm fairly confident Read only share? shouldn't have a ? -- Possibly Share read only
  15. macOS doesn't tend to talk about Directory, it would generally use Folder
  16. Click Next
    image
  17. Generally macOS doesn't show paths -- instead one can command click to see the path:
    image

References

  1. Open System Preferences.app
  2. Click Keyboard
  3. Click Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard
    image
  4. Note that the Back button is Go Back
    • Apple uses Back in the initial macOS install wizard. But most other wizards (including the installer wizard) seem to use Go Back. A sample installer app is macfuse -- download the dmg and open the .pkg -- no need to allow anything, you can see the Go Back button in the background:
    image
  5. Note that the opposite of Go Back is Continue, not Next

Expected results

  • The buttons should be wider (see the file picker picture and others)
  • Close is not a commonly used button on macOS. As the button here effectively Cancels the task, it should be labeled Cancel
  • Pressing <esc> should trigger this Cancel button if there isn't a back button.
  • It should probably be on the right side of the dialog
  • Next should be Continue
  • Back should be Go Back

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 3.1.5 (53)
  • OS Version: 12.3.1 (21E258)
  • Intel or Apple Silicon? M1

I've made most of the suggested changes with the following exception

the I in Image should probably be i

The options here are titles and follow title casing ("Use Virtualization" as another example)

macOS doesn't tend to talk about Directory, it would generally use Folder

"Directory sharing" is the name of the feature and is referred to as such in various places. I think changing it now may cause some confusion.

The buttons should be wider

I agree but it's not easy to do this in SwiftUI without some ugly hacks so here's to hoping Apple will fix it themselves.
