Vd/disable screenshots #3937

Closed

Hi,

When disabling screenshots on UTM prefences the user cannot delete their screenshots after selecting "Do not save screenshots". This merge proposes a new configuration value "Enable screenshots" which will enable/disable them as well as delete them on disk when disabled.

Addresses #3936

Cheers

Peter

Thanks for the PR but I think this overly complicates things. Also, an accidental check of the option shouldn't go and delete (screenshot) files from every VM without an additional prompt or something. I think it's enough to just delete any stale screenshot when the VM starts and the disable option is checked.

Is there any possibility for an option to disable screenshots entirely or allow manually setting an image?

It's a security risk having screen capturing running constantly in the background. Even with the option disabled, it saves every 30 seconds so can still screenshot sensitive info like login details or emails and this appears on closing the VM, which then gets flushed on closing the app.

I'd like to be able to disable the screen capturing process and also set a VM screenshot manually and have it persistent so that different Windows and Linux VMs have different screenshots each.
