[Glance] How to filter out snapshots from images.List results? #3830

there is no way to list each property right away, since glance has very special dynamic API. You can create a custom property for an image and then use it as a filter in a call. However gophercloud images.List accepts |

Thanks for the reply, but ideally I find something that works reliably on any OpenStack instance. It doesn't have to happen via the List call, I'm fine with doing some "manual" filtering. |

I noticed that Horizon is able to display "Image" vs "Snapshot" in the glance tab, maybe I have to look at its code how it's done there. |

Thanks! Quite a similar approach, although a bit more specific. So my take away is that the Glance API is just awful like that and there is nothing we can do about it on gophercloud's end. |

I'm currently trying to implement some metadata ("Properties") based image lookup logic, but I'm having the problem that there is no obvious way to differentiate between "actual" images and snapshots, since the latter inherit all the metadata from the image they are based on.
So far I've found that checking for the existence of Image.Properties["block_device_mapping"] happens to work on my cloud, but is there a canonical way?
