Hi all, I'm trying to create a Keyboard Maestro macro that starts my developement setup and this includes start a VM. To do so I try to open the VM machine opening the pvm file. But what it does is start the Parallels Desktop app but not the Virtual Machine. It's not a Keyboart Maestro problem as if I double click on the pvm file in Finder, the behavior is the same, the App is started but not the VM. I know there is the option to start the VM from the command line, but then the VM is un background and I can forget that Parallels is started and then the VM could be not properly shut down. Any one knows how I could achieve this? Cheers!! -- Arnau
With your VM open, go to Virtual Machine>Configure, then in the Options tab when you select Startup and Shutdown, there is a menu that says Start Automatically. Change that to "when window opens" and it should behave how you want
