) with the current State (so that I only have 1 large vdi-file instead of 2, and that the 'current state' is also the only state)
Right click on current state (changed)
Select 'Discard current snapshot and state'?
And after this I have no more snapshots AND I haven't lost any data?
DON'T do that. You WILL lose you latest change made after the snapshot. This was what I've done, whcih was the reason I went after documentation for clarification about this snapshot mess. What you should do to merge the snapshot into the VDI is:
- Right click on the snapshot (Snap1 in your case)
- Select Discard Snapshot (Ctrl+Shift+D)
That's it
