If you have several VMs with the same OS and software installed, then you never know which App is selected when opening a file via Finder. Open_with shows e.g.
CoreDraw(R) 3.2
CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2
CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2
CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2
The worst case is that it opens a new VM because e.g. "CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2" is not the currently open VM but an inactive one.
It would make sense to add the VM's name to these entries:
VMXP: CoreDraw(R) 3.2
VMXP: CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2
VMXP: CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2
VMXP2: CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2
or
CoreDraw(R) 3.2 on VMXP
CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2 on VMXP
CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2 on VMXP
CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2 on VMXP2
Or - much better - to make them user-editable:
CoreDraw 11
CoreDraw 12
CoreDraw X3
CoreDraw 11 (VMXP2)
