Adding existing virtual machines
If you've already set up a virtual machine before you started using the Manager, you can import it into the Manager by following this procedure:
1. Click on the Add button to add a new virtual machine in the Manager
This brings up the "Add a virtual machine" dialog.
2. Check "Import VM files from" Now type the path to your files (the parent folder) in the textbox or click "Browse…" to navigate there and select the folder. It is recommended you don't have any other unrelated files in the same folder, as those will be copied as well.
3. Set the desired name for this virtual machine
The Manager will automatically create a folder with this name in your virtual machines folder.
4. Click on "Add" Manager will copy over your files and you'll be informed if the operation was successful or not. If it wasn't, you'll end up with a fresh VM instead.
And you're done. Keep in mind you may need to update any paths to your disk images inside the config file.
The alternative is to manually move the files to your virtual machines folder, and add a new virtual machine with an appropriate name.
