OVA Import Failed when changing VM named from "vm" => Fixed in SVN

[superponible]

I was attempting to import an OVA. The Virtual Appliance name within the OVA was "vm". For this example, I changed the name from "vm" to "NEWNAME" before importing. When I clicked Import, I got an error saying it "Could not find a valid medium format for the target disk", and the disk name it listed had had the extension changed from vmdk to NEWNAMEvmdk.

The full error is pasted below. The OVA I was using was for REMNUX available here: ​http://zeltser.com/remnux/#download-remnux

Failed to import appliance C:\Users\<username>\VMs\ISOs\remnux-4.0-ovf-public.ova.

Could not find a valid medium format for the target disk 'C:\Users\<username>\VirtualBox VMs\NEWNAME\remnux-4.0-ovf-public-disk1.NEWNAMEdk'.

Result Code: VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80BB0009) Component: Appliance Interface: IAppliance {3059cf9e-25c7-4f0b-9fa5-3c42e441670b}

I said in the text it was renamed to "NEWNAMEvmdk", but the copied error shows the correct renaming to "NEWNAMEdk".

Confirmed the issue, you can workaround this by using "VBoxManage import <ova path> --vsys 0 --vmname NEWNAME".
