@James: Sure, no problem, I hope I haven't been too hard on you ;-) Let me start by explaining the terminology, upstream refers to the project that actually develops the relevant application. The term comes from the idea that water and the goods it carries float downstream and benefit those who ar

@James: "Why not make the OS transition process a little bit easier for more users?" Because I do not agree with the assumption that the changes you proposed (adding options to the dialog) will improve usability, on the contrary, I strongly believe that this will only lead to more problems, becaus

I'm sorry but if the goal is to improve usability then adding more options to a dialog (especially the ones mentioned) is in my view not the right way to go about this. Instead you should ask the distributor of VirtualBox to package their stuff. -- Usability: .RUN files, terminal, and privileges

Hello James, Thank you for taking the time to submit this report. I can confirm this issue. It seems that this may be more of a feature request than an actual bug. Nevertheless, it doesn't seem to have been reported before so I went ahead and forwarded it upstream. Also, I'll add this to the One H
