Option to disable VM display preview in main UTM application window

[numin0us]

I would like to see an option to disable the VM display preview in the UTM application window to prevent inadvertent leakage of sensitive data. Currently there is an option to prevent screenshots from being saved to disk, but that does not prevent the VM display from being previewed in the primary UTM application window.

I don't understand the concern. If it's not being saved, how is it leaking sensitive data? You can also just look at the open window...

Shoulder surfing - someone passing by when the VM is closed but the main UTM window is open. (since the preview persists even after the VM itself is closed)

I agree, an option to disable the VM screenshot completely would be very helpful. Currently for several VMs I have to close all windows, wait a moment since the preview lags, and then shut the VM down so the preview is "safe."

I have no need for previews in the list; disabling them would speed up several workflows.

Adding an option to turn off the display of screenshots on the console would be a great and would make the application even more appealing compared to other virtualization applications . Right now, this feature raises concerns about exposing sensitive information, which would forbid its use in industries like finance, healthcare, or government where security standards are strict

Giving users the ability to disable this feature, UTM could become a stronger choice for professionals in those fields and show its commitment to flexibility and security. It’s a small change that could make a big difference!

Yes, I would too like to disable this part:

I have to check if it's not showing anything sensitive before I quit UTM.
