Re: How to properly mount your home folder in VMWare Fusion for doing development work

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I have an issue with Parallels and their folder sharing feature. I *think* they 
are using a kind of folder redirection. It takes forever to do anything in a 
Windows app in the VM. It runs much better on a real workstation, although I 
must say not as fast as on MacOS. Not sure why the engine is so much faster on 
MacOS.

The person I worked with had personally talked to the person responsible
for that feature. They are working on it but it is not a simple fix so I
wasn’t given any sort of timeline.

Did they say untying about fixing the shared folders feature? Or is this 
intended behavior? This used to work years ago.

How to properly mount your home folder in VMWare Fusion for doing development work

[Trevor DeVore via use-livecode]

I’m posting this in case it helps anyone else facing a similar issue.

Yesterday I finally contact VMWare support about an issue I’ve been having
for quite a while now. During development I work on Mac and perform sanity
checks on Windows running in VMWare Fusion. When I find an issue on Windows
I prefer to quickly make a change in my dev tools and Mac and then relaunch
on Windows. Sometimes, however, the files I modified would appear as
corrupted and wouldn’t open in Windows until I restarted the VM.

The solution is to mount your Mac as a network drive rather than using the
Shared Folders feature in VMWare Fusion. Full details can be found here:
