What happened?
Ventoy currently only lists VDI and VHD files that have the ".vtoy" suffix. It is even unable to boot an explicitly-set default image if it doesn't have the suffix in the name. I propose this filter is made customizable in the ventoy.json configuration file for users that prefer that all file types are treated equally.
I don't fully understand what you mean. Ventoy will list .vhd/.vhdx files, but will treat them as Windows VHD(x) file when boot.
Unfortunately not - Ventoy currently lists only {.vdi,.vhd,.vhdx}.vtoy and I'd like to disable this filter so .vtoy wouldn't be needed.
Ok, but can you explain the underlying technical reason? Apparently these files need to be marked with a custom extension. But why wouldn't Ventoy offer any VDI/VHD(X) file for booting?
