Hi,

today I worked with the command line tool 'qvm-open-in-vm' and realised
that its behaviour is quite similar to qvm-open/qvm-copy.

The way I understand it is:

There used to be qvm-copy-to-vm/qvm-move-to-vm which would take the name
of the destination vm as first parameter and a file path as the second
parameter. At some point (I believe it was with the release of Qubes
4.0) these tools have been deprecated in favour of qvm-move/qvm-copy,
which now take only one parameter and interactively ask the user for the
destination VM.

qvm-open-in-vm still works like the older tools, that is, it takes two
parameters (VM name + file name or URL to be opened), but then still
shows the GUI prompt where the user needs to pick the destination VM.

I am not overly familiar with Qubes inter-VM communication but from my
point of view, qvm-open-in-vm should be deprecated as well and replaced
by a similarly working qvm-open tool.

What do you think?

Please let me know if this mail should rather be addressed to qubes-devel.

Regards,

Phil
