<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414402258725_2405">Hi I would like to add
a permanent shared folder to a VM. Now I would like to be able
to do that also while the VM is in running state and while it
is in saved state. That is possible using the normal VBOX GUI,
but using the API, I get an error trying to add a shared
folder to a saved VM and I don't know how I can add a
permanent shared folder to a running VM. The API says it only
works while the VM is off using the IMachine class? Is it not
possible to add a permanent shared folder using the IConsole
class while the VM is running or in saved state? <br>

Confused... If the GUI can do what the API doesn't offer then how
would the GUI do that when it's only using the API? It's also adding
temporary shared folders in this case. When there's a running VM
it's absolutely impossible to add a permanent shared folder. If the
GUI manages to somehow add a permanent shared folder I'd consider it
an API bug, but this bug should be "exploitable" by all API clients
if they use the same sequence of calls.<br>
<br>
I think even for VMs which are in saved state it's not allowed to
add permanent shared folders - though this is something which
probably could be changed without causing extreme effort (the
corresponding change for removing shared folders while in saved
state is much harder, because currently the API has no knowledge
which shared folders are actually in use, and removing those would
definitely break saved state).<br>
