    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a possibility to enable pausing virtual machine automatically even if there are programs open?
    This official article says that the virtual machine will be automatically paused if:
    • The virtual machine is running, but its window is not active for more than selected time period
    • There are no applications running in Windows (no icons of Windows applications are present in the Dock)
    I would like it to pause even if the second condition is not met.

    I disabled all the application sharing options, so there are no guest os apps in the dock anyway. All the applications are inside a window or at full screen mode without coherence.
    It would be nice to have an even more battery saving with apps open without pausing the VM manually.
    It is not very productive to click Actions->Pause every time you want to switch to mac apps.

    If not using GUI, so maybe there are some options via plist or xml modification?
