[SOLVED] Guest OS preview images / thumbnails location?

Post by nekrosmash »

Hi, I was wondering if the thumbnails that are used to show the current state of a VM can be accessed in the Host OS's filesystem? I'm referring to the "Preview" section of the "Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager" window, which can be updated every 0.5/1/2/5/10 seconds.

Cheers.

These previews image are obtained via the corresponding method in the API : IConsole::takeScreenShotToArray() and are not available as file into the host filesystem.
