Create a VM in a non-default directory

[Eric Siegerman]

When creating a VM (using the VirtualBox GUI), it should be possible to override the default machine folder.

This would make it easier to put different VMs in different places. As it is, one's only recourse is to either change the preference setting first, create the VM, then set it back afterward; or to create the VM where it isn't wanted, and then move it using the remove/move/re-add sequence. Both of these options are annoying.

Suggested UI: add a "folder" button next to Name input field in the dialog (or the first page of same in guided mode), like the one that already appears next to the virtual-disk File Location input field.

The ticket should be Host:All and Priority:Enhancement.
If it's not too much work, it's not a bad idea at all... +1

Coming back to this, hoping that my inability to make the requested changes was a new-user limitation. It isn't (or at least, it's not a time-based restriction); I still can't modify the ticket. If you have the authority to do it for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Unfortunately you can't change anything in the ticket after you're pressed that "Submit" button, not even make corrections to your own "post" description. It is a post after all, you should be able to. I believe it's a limitation of the setup, but I won't digress.

If you have the authority to do it for me, I'd appreciate it.

I'm a simple user like you so I can't change any of the fields of the ticket. I'm on OSX myself and I thought it was a good suggestion for all platforms (that's why the +1) and I was merely proposing to the developers to change the mentioned fields.
