It seems to want to open file "openSUSE Tumbleweed.ovf" which of course does not exist. That's what it is about, creating the appliance for migration.
You need to export VM in VMware into OVF file.
How? The tool refuses and gives an error. The instructions I found are for Windows where the tool is a GUI. In Linux, it is a CLI, and the help page gives about three screenfulls of options.
Another: <https://blogs.oracle.com/oswald/importing-a-vdi-in-virtualbox> says that I first have to create a new virtual machine in virtual box, but importing the "hard disk", which is supposed to be .vdi, but mine are .vmdk. Anyway, some links say vmdk works - but this method would not migrate the "hardware" of the machine, so to speak, only the hard disks.
I would not hold my breath - in any non-trivial case I am aware of conversion either failed outright or required manual editing of OVF properties.
