The next view shows items that have been captured and enables manually excluding and including them.Īs you can see, there are very few files and folders left that should be excluded because the machine learning driven exclude filter has already excluded irrelevant items.Ĭlick the Show excluded radio button to see how many items Smart Package Studio’s cloud filter has already excluded for you. Smart Capture now creates the second comparison snapshot. Go back to the Smart Capture window and press Next to continue the capture process. Starting it at this point may create a lot of settings in the user area of the package that are not necessary. Unless there are settings within the software that need to be set, it is best not to start it before taking the second snapshot. In this case, the Don’t save for reuse option should be selected.īrowse for the installer or just run what needs to be captured inside the virtual machine manually.Īfter pressing Execute go to the virtual machine’s window and go through the Notepad++ installation. This can be used to perform actions in the virtual machine before creating the first snapshot.

Note: If the target virtual machine is already running, the selected snapshot will not be restored. We use Automatic exclusion list (online) as this connects to the Smart Package Studio cloud service and leverages the machine learning algorithms that analyze the exclusions created by other users for a cleaner packaging result.Ĭlick Next and VirtualBox will start up the virtual machine using the selected snapshot – unless it is already running. The first time you use a virtual machine snapshot, you will have to create a new capture snapshot.Ģ. Because Smart Capture already knows the state of the virtual machine, it does not need the initial scan. Note: While this post describes how to capture from a virtual machine, the procedure is no different for capturing from the local machine or from a remote machine.Ĭhoose the snapshot to be used for capturing the software and press Next.ġ. We will use the 圆4 version because most organizations no longer use x86 operating systems.
