This change allows users to customize the mount tag name for shared directories in macOS guests. Some applications don't handle spaces in paths properly, so this provides more flexibility. - Added sharedDirectoryMountTag property to UTMAppleConfiguration - Updated shareDirectoryTag to use custom mount tag if set - Added UI in VMConfigAppleSharingView to modify the mount tag

This feels like settings creep (where we eventually will have hundreds of settings and a new user has no idea what is important). Do you have a justification of why this is something that needs to be done in UTM (rather then, say, not have a space in the directory you are mounting)? |
|
I feel you, perhaps there could be some advanced settings or cli based way to change the tag -> a non-trivial amount of software does not handle spaces well -- that's the only rationale. |
|
If it's just the default tag being the issue, I could see a global toggle or checkbox that will select an alternative tag. Does this have to be a setting that is saved per VM? |

It does impact per vm behavior but I personally would be satisfied with a
global setting.
