These changes look good, thanks.

I've tested this patch a couple of ways. If I launch Hob and press
"Images" to load an existing image from somewhere in my filesystem
things seem to work as expected.

However if I build an image (core-image-minimal) for a non-qemu machine
(genericx86-64), once the build is done I can see 'Run custom image'
button (between 'Build new image' and 'Deploy image').

The 'Run script' box indicates that the script is pointing to 'runqemu'
but when I click 'Run custom image' I get a dialogue asking to 'Select
the image file you want to run:' with 'Cancel' and 'Run image' buttons
but nothing listing selectable images (I even tried resizing the
dialogue, to no avail). If I proceed to click 'Run image' button the
'Usb image maker' dialogue is presented.

Regards,

Joshua
