UTM-Snapshot-Manager only supports QCOW2? #9

Closed itababa closed 2 months ago

By trial and error, found out I couldn't take a snapshot of a UTM VM that had a .img disk image. Is there any functional reason why it doesn't support IMG files? Thanks!

Thanks for reporting, @itababa! As the README.md explains, this tool is nothing but a fancy frontend for qemu-img, a disk management utility that is part of the qemu hypervisor which UTM mainly leverages to create VMs. qemu has snapshot-functionality for .qcow images built in, however not for raw images. I've amended the README.md to reflect this.
