Suggestion: GUI attaching to headless should default close to 'continue'

[Timothe Litt]

It's great to be able to attach to a headless machine with the GUI! Many, many thanks. One suggestion:

When closing the console after attaching to a headless machine, the default radio button on the close VM window seems to be 'Power off" initially, and 'last choice" thereafter. This is dangerous.

It would be best to default to 'Continue running in the background', especially if the console window was created by attaching to a background/headless VM. Certainly if the machine started out headless, chances are good that it wants to stay that way when the console session is over. And if the user has other wishes, leaving it running is much safer than initiating a shutdown.

I'm not objecting to the radio button dialog, just the default selection.

It would be even better if the UI settings for the machine allowed disabling the other choices. One can always use Machine on the menu bar to shut down. I run ALL my VMs headless, and shutting down/powering off needs to be a deliberate act. And it's rare. The only time I use the console is when there are boot/network problems, or software installs. I can see other use patterns, of course.

FWIW. Thanks for your consideration.
