This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.
In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

They are in the below format, image/ snap.vhd image.vhd Right now, in glance plugin, after downloading the image, when we try to handle old style images, we expected vhd files to be downloaded in the staging_path. https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/etc/xapi.d/plugins/utils.py#167 But in this case of legacy images, there is a folder called "image" with vhd files, downloaded in the staging path. So, the level of recursiveness in the downloaded image is not supported today, while handling old style image.
