Hi! Am I blind or is the snapshot managing GUI gone?
10 seconds later: found it! This new GUI is awkward.

I'd go for... different! I still find my mouse going to the top-left side when I want to start a VMmhanor wrote:This new GUI is awkward.
But you got to also think of the trends these days; touch-based devices!
(yes, I hate them too, generally speaking)
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I'm not convinced that I do have to think of the trends! I'm not a lemming, I don't have to follow others off the cliff! Besides which, who seriously uses Windows, Linux, OS X with a touch based interface?socratis wrote: But you got to also think of the trends these days; touch-based devices!
I have not had time to try the beta yet. I really hope VirtualBox isn't about to pull a "Windows 8".

Re: managing snapshots in VirtualBox Manager v6.0 Beta1
Removing the Snapshots entry from the main menu, unless we click the pseudo-button and select Snapshots, it doesn't seem useful. Snapshots are really important when dealing with VMs, why should it hide like that?
With the Network menu entry it's the same, you have to click Tools, above the VM list. The main menu isn't cluttered. It has a lot of space left. You can also leave Logs there. The button, that wasn't obvious for me as a button, looks like something forced into the GUI.

I agree - the new menu for Details/Snapshots/Logs is annoying, the old tab-like interface was much better.
In addition, it has a problem: it extends below the bottom edge of the screen, making it impossible to click the Snapshots and Logs options if the VM is listed low enough on the screen.
