Renaming A Virtual Machine After Creation? (Fusion 10)

    Is it possible to change the name of a Fusion 10 virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library as well as the name of the VM Bundle after it's been created/installed?  Since we have to name each VM BEFORE installation, i have frequently found that i would sometimes like to be able to change the name after it's been created & used but i'm not sure how to do this or if it's even possible.

    Sure.  Two step process - first rename the bundle on disk with Fusion off.  When you start fusion, it'll be 'missing' in the library.  Delete the old entry, then drag/drop the renamed bundle from finder into the fusion library.  Then right click on the entry in the library and pick rename.
