Set the path to the target folder where the file will exist
Var configWatcher = new .FileSystemWatcher() If(sp.GetStoredObject("VMWareWatcher") != null) Only create if it doesn't already exist If(_ = sp.EngineList().Last().Engine.Name) Global Actions > Load/Unload > Load script In the host, the same gesture just finds and activates the VMWare window. In the VM the gesture writes to a file on the host machine which the FileSystemWatcher raises an event and the script minimizes VMWare. For my VM, I have shared folders enabled, so the VM can see the C drive of the host. To accomplish this, I leverage the FileSystemWatcher class to watch one file and look for any time it's been changed. So I have the same gesture (V) for S+ on my host (personal) and in the client (work VM) which do their respective tasks of taking me to the other. This runs in full screen and spans multiple monitors.īut I run VMWare on my personal PC, so I like to be able to easily switch out (minimize) VMWare to do personal tasks (music, GMail, etc) and just as easily bring VMWare back up. Choose to 'Always enable' the use of shared folders.This example is something I use to easily switch in and out of a full screen, multiple monitor, VMWare Workstation instance.įor work I have a dedicated VM which where I have all apps for work. Under 'Options->Shared Folders' you can add a directory from your host machine that you would like to be able to use on your guest machine. In your VMWare control window, edit the settings of the virtual machine. Shutdown your virtual machine at this point using the default for all prompts that the program gives you. Enter the subdirectory "vmware-tools-distrib" and then enter the command sudo. Open a terminal window ( alt+ ctrl+ t) and navigate to the directory where you extracted the VMWare tools. tar.gz file will change with VMWare versions. In your Ubuntu installation, use the file manager to extract the contents of VMwareTools-10.0. from the CD to a directory on your Ubuntu installation. This will mount the CD containing the VMWare tools on your virtual machine. Start your Ubuntu virtual machine, and in the VM window, choose "VM->Install VMWare Tools". Please note that open-vm-tools from the Ubuntu repositories does not currently support file sharing in Ubuntu.
If you have not installed the vmtools from the VMWare 'CD' for your Ubuntu guest, you will need to do so first.
