VM's as file bundles instead of directories

I have been using Parallels to setup personal, work, and other test environments. For awhile I had one VM, then when I started adding more, I wanted to rename my original one. However, since Parallels just uses a directory with files in it structure, all the files have to be named with the same prefix, and the configuration file itself also has to be edited.

It would be nice to see a file bundle setup, with the directory being the only thing with the unique name, while all the files inside the bundle are always the same name. Then I could rename my VM's easily, move them from machine to machine as if they were a single file, etc. Just a little more Mac-like and friendly that way.
 
As a followup to above, it would be nice to have a long description field that I could enter and see when I'm going through the VM list so I could enter more information about how a particular VM is configured.
 
Now you can just rename directory and VM. Ugly, bug working. :)

We think about bundles, because there would be more and more files in VM directory.
