Why is not possible cancel/stop loading of saved state?

Post by Akira »

I have several VM and quite often I miss-click or make a mistake, and open the wrong one.

I always quickly realized it, when VM start loading, because virtualbox showing a screenshot of last state.

But there is NO OPTION to stop the loading.

Well, to be precise, option is there - as a large X button, but it's not clickable and its only purpose is clearly to irritate users who tried to use it.

So I must always wait half a minute, till the machine actually load and pump several GB to RAM, and only then I can closed it.

Why is that? Is there a reason for it?
Why loading cannot be stopped? It seams pretty straightforward. Snapshot is there, so there is no danger.
And why is there a button for stopping/canceling, when its use is forbidden?

Yes, the devs never programmed it. :lol: You can put an enhancement request on the Bugtracker.
