    I have made a 4GB hard disk file containing a standard Windows 2k installation which I use as template. I then use this image file to create new VMs by just duplicating it.
    But often I have to increase the size due to expected higher hard disk space needs. Because Parallel's ImageTool deletes the original disk file after the resize (it creates a temporary new one during the resize process and then deletes the old one), I have to duplicate the template disk file although ImageTool will create a new one anyway.

    So, I would like to ask you to add an option to NOT delete the original image file. This is already possible for converting processes (e.g. plain -> expanding).

    Thanks!
