vmware-vmx builder vm_name not showing up in Virtual Machine Library

[SurferL]

How do you update the Virtual Machine name in the Virtual Machine Library for VMWare Fusion?

I've used `vm_name` as per the docs, and that does create the create name for the .vmx file generated, however the name displayed in the Virtual Machine Library just shows "Clone of base_image", which isn't idea as I just have a list of that instead, of what I'd ideally have of Packer's `vm_name`.

Any idea how to change this? 

Thanks :)

Hi 

Find your vmx file and you modify the "displayname" attribute, that will allow you to change the name of your VM in the Virtual Machine Library...
