17720	State/Powered off since ??	jim.rather		"So this is not a bug, but I guess a ""feature request"". If I copy a VM between machines, usually via rsync, I notice that the State (if the VM was off would state ""Powered off since.."") listed in a vboxmanage showvminfo is from the local machine not the machine that I copied it from. Even if I have copied all of the files from the VMs folder from another machine.

However, if I have copied the files, yet remove the VM from VirtualBox (while choosing not to remove the files) and then add the VM back, it has the correct date/time of when it was powered off on the original machine. 

So I am wondering if it got that information from the VM files that were copied, how can that information be locally updated to indicate that?"	enhancement	new	other	VirtualBox 5.2.10				Windows	Linux
