Yes, this mailing list is probably the best. > In terms of concept, I have already started thinking about how to > implement this, however I would like to clarify one thing first before > presenting a design as the issue description doesn't really make this > too clear. > > Are we implementing MIME-handling to open a specific file/type in > DisposableVMs only, or should the user be able to choose/enter any one > of their installed VMs?

IMO much more important (and not so easy) part is to keep information which files should be opened where. For example flag files downloaded from the internet to open in Disposable VMs (even when moved out of "Downloads" directory), but files converted using qvm-convert-pdf open locally. > I also don't believe implementing the ability for the user to choose a > arbitrary destination VM would be much harder than only letting them use > a Disposable VM, but I want to make sure I understand what is expected > before going any further. > > Thanks! > Andrew Morgan > - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
