Folders in Virtualbox Manager

Post by vbx4ever »

Sorry if I missed it in the search.

Is there a way to create folders to organize the virtual machines in the Virtual Manager?

Thx

Not with the current version (4.1.14). Maybe in the future, who knows.

In the meantime you can get a similar effect by using the "Create shortcut on desktop feature", and organizing those into any folder structure you like. For just launching VMs you wouldn't need to use the GUI front end at all.

Thanks for the quick response. The shortcut way is a good alternative.

I'll check if the "folder" option has been suggested and if not, I will drop it in the suggestion box.

Have a great day.
