Hi,
When I used VMWare workstation many years ago, one of the features I couldn't live without was the layered snapshots. When testing it was extremely productive to have multiple branches of snapshots of the VM and I could revert to any point. I agree. The "snapshots" should be a tree and not a stack. When you "review" a snapshot, you should be able to choose, in addition to 'commit' (forget all the newer ones) and 'undo', also something like 'branch' (just keep everything).
Note that this is partially possible today by cloning a snapshot (to a VM) but imo is much less comfortable. -- Didi ------=_Part_1660903_1497308434.1395140564771 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html><body><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div></div><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Jorick Astrego" <j.astrego@netbulae.eu><br><b>To: </b>users@ovirt.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, March 18, 2014 12:33:30 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Users] oVirt 3.5 planning<br><div><br></div> Hi,<br><br> When I used VMWare workstation many years ago, one of the features I couldn't live without was the layered snapshots.
