Mac Desktop Finder alias to launch specific snapshot HOW ?

I can see that if I make a Finder alias to the client OS pvm pseudo file I can choose this VM to launch, but this level of granularity is inadequate.

The end user would need to be able to choose which set of pre-configured workflows to use and would need minimal interaction with the option-heavy Parallels GUI in the process. Selecting the snapshot from the manager pane that appears when the Manage item is chosen from the GUI menu is insufficiently terse.

If I want to launch a specific snapshot directly from the Finder desktop, how do I achieve this ?

• Shortcut to a file within the pvm folder ?
• Shell script that issues some command line magic ?
• Applescript that picks the right snapshot to start with ?

 

Hi Overbeam,
We do not have an option to start a specific snapshot from the finder, however we have an option to create a linked clone, please refer http://kb.parallels.com/122669 to know more about linked clones and go through http://blog.parallels.com/blog/2015...now-about-linked-clones-in-parallels-desktop/ to know more about how to work with linked clones.
