Hi Yoshiki,

    This is a cool idea. Thanks.

    I guess this tool only works on image of the same version and with a
change set only.

    It would be nice if I can use it to browse a headless image with no
source and change.

    Is it doable ? Would you consider that as a feature request.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
