Version 7.x, has the Disk Manager GUI disappeared?

Post by DuggleBB »

I used to use the "VM expand" feature on Version 6 and thought it was very good.
I went to use it in Version 7.2 and can't find it anywhere. Does it still exist, and if so where?
I can't offer any logs as it seems to be an app issue rather more than a specific VM issue.

In VirtualBox 7.2 the disk manager is still there, just has been moved to "Tools" - you can get there either through the vertical toolbar on the left (the 4th icon from top) or through the menu: File -> Tools -> Media.

That's what I expected, but it isn't there on my installation.
I get
File..Tools..
Home
Machines
Extensions
Cloud
Resources.

I've searched all the options on the menu, nowhere do I see Disk Manger Feature

OK solved
For some reason the 7.2 extension pack hadn't installed, downloaded again & installed, problem solved.
Thanks for your response

Huh? The Extension Pack for VirtualBox 7.2.8 contains very little besides the Oracle Cloud integration, and is definitely not needed for the Disk Manager GUI.

I don't have it installed, and still see 7 entries in the Tools menu and the vertical toolbar at the left.
