    If you have several VMs with the same OS and software installed, then you never know which App is selected when opening a file via Finder. Open_with shows e.g.

    CoreDraw(R) 3.2
    CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2
    CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2
    CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2

    The worst case is that it opens a new VM because e.g. "CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2" is not the currently open VM but an inactive one.

    It would make sense to add the VM's name to these entries:

    VMXP: CoreDraw(R) 3.2
    VMXP: CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2
    VMXP: CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2
    VMXP2: CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2

    or

    CoreDraw(R) 3.2 on VMXP
    CoreDraw(R) [1] 3.2 on VMXP
    CoreDraw(R) [3] 3.2 on VMXP
    CoreDraw(R) [2] 3.2 on VMXP2


    Or - much better - to make them user-editable:

    CoreDraw 11
    CoreDraw 12
    CoreDraw X3
    CoreDraw 11 (VMXP2)

    Your thoughts ?
