Hi
Thanks a lot for UTM! I'd love to test it :)
I currently use ACVM and wanted to try UTM
I tried to import my Ubuntu qcow2 file and I didn't understand that "Import Drive" would actually physically copy the file. Why?
The issue is that, since I use snapshots, when the VM starts, it complains that it cannot find the actual RO (read-only) part of the disk image.
Then I thought I could go in the QEMU menu to edit the -drive portion of the launch command, but I see no "middle ground". Either I accept the entire default launch list of arguments, or I have to input all of them manually ("Advanced: Bypass configuration and manually specify arguments")
Question: what's the best way to use UTM with my existing disk images without copying them anywhere else?
Suggestion: would it be possible to allow a way to just partially edit the default arguments? Maybe with a button "Back to Default"?
Thanks
AL
