[FEATURE] Configurable Storage Location for VM Bundles
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Claude currently does not provide an option to configure or change the storage location for VM bundles. This creates a limitation for users working with limited space on their system drive.
In my case, the C: drive is nearing capacity, while I have significant available space on my D: drive. The ability to specify an alternative storage location would greatly improve disk space management and overall usability.
Introducing this feature would allow users to better utilize available storage across their system and avoid unnecessary constraints on the primary drive.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a configurable setting that allows users to specify a custom storage location for VM bundles instead of defaulting to the system drive (C:).
This could be implemented as:
A user-defined setting in the application preferences where a directory path can be selected (e.g., D:\VMs).
An option during initial setup or installation to choose the storage location.
Support for updating the location after setup, with automatic migration or prompting the user to move existing VM bundles.
Alternative Solutions
Validate that the selected drive has sufficient space.
Gracefully handle cases where the configured path becomes unavailable.
Provide clear documentation on how storage paths are managed.
This approach would give users flexibility in managing disk space while maintaining reliability and performance.
