Description

Managing of groups (new group, move VM to new group, add VM to group) will not synchronized in filesystem.

Steps:

  • VBox running without any Virtual Machines (VM)
  • Create on VM: "vm1"
  • "Group" this "vm1": Group "New Group" will created, also in Filesystem (FS) a directory "New Group" is created, directroy "vm1" is now inside "New Group"
  • Rename "New Group" to "grp1": "vm1" is displayed in group "grp1", in FS directory is renamed to "grp1", "vm1" is inside "grp1": OK
  • Clone "vm1" to "vm2": "vm2" is displayed outside "grp1", directory "vm2" is created outside "grp1" (parent directory)
  • "Group" "vm2" to a second group "grp2" as before: Group "grp2" is displayed with "vm2" inside. But no directory for group "grp2" is created, "vm2" is still outside.
  • Move "vm2" to "grp1" (drag an drop): "grp2" is no longer displayed, "grp1" has members "vm1", "vm2". In FS "vm2" is still outside of "grp1"
  • "Add new VM" in group "grp1": Displayed in "grp1", but in FS it is created outside of "grp1".

Summary: Only one group will be managed in filesystem. Display and Filesystem are not synchornized. The first VM of the group will be moved inside group directory. No further group directories will be created. Other vms (by clone, by add, by move) will stay outside (in the parent-directory).
