Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

After changing some settings for a guest machine (which have a snapshot) and press OK (even if I do not modify anything) an error message is shown:

The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:   Machine
Interface:   IMachine {1e509de4-d96c-4f44-8b94-860194f710ac}

Despite this error, changes are applied to guest.

This happens when I add a disk image to a new slot on the hard drive controller of a VM. Even worse, when my snapshot directory is not the default (e.g. I changed it to /data/users/peter/...) sometimes this results in snapshot directory being reset to the default (~/.Virtualbox/...), and the snapshots actually being lost. (Not present in the old /data directory, and just a ~12kB snapshot in the default directory.) WinXP in the VM bluescreens very early in the boot process after this happens, because I guess the 12kB snapshot isn't just an empty snapshot.

I've seen this error message even when changing a mounted floppy image from the settings menu.
