Home directory has ~/vmware and ~/.vmware

[rcardona2k]

Is the installer or something else accidentally creating a vmware in addition to .vmware? There's nothing in ~/vmware and, of course, ~/.vmware has preferences in it.

Also I noticed there are two preferences files:

~/.vmware/preferences, and

~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist

I assume ~/.vmware is for the VMM and the plist is for the Cocoa GUI?

~/vmware is currently the default path where new VMs are created.

Thanks for letting us know that ~/vmware and ~/.vmware are not the Mac way of doing things. We want to fix that.

~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist is the regular path for Cocoa application preferences (such as your list of recently opened documents, in our case VMs).

Hmm, I didn't say anything about not these locations not being "the Mac way." If ~/vmware is where local machines are expected, I'll move my VMTN appliances there.

Since you did mention the Mac way, I would say, ~/Documents/vmware is preferrable than ~/vmware for the location of VMs.

Thanks for the info!
