Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently quickgui provides a file-sharing feature which makes it easy to share files between the host and guest operating systems. However, the shared directory on Linux is $HOME. I don't want to share my entire home directory with a guest OS due to privacy concerns. To put it frankly, I don't trust Windows with my Linux $HOME.

Describe the solution you'd like
A would like to be able to change the default shared directory to a location of my choosing.

Given the project's aim for simplicity, I think a single application-wide setting, rather than a per-vm setting, would work just fine.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A work-around for SMB sharing is to locate the temporary samba directory that gets created in /tmp, and modify the samba configuration file prior to accessing the share within Windows. This would need to be done upon every launch of the VM.
