Hi Stumpy,
not quite sure what you are asking. Your subject implies you want to
configure Firefox to open certain links/files in a DVM. To acomplish
that you want to get Rafaelle Florio's Qubes URL Redirector extension:
https://github.com/raffaeleflorio/qubes-url-redirector
You wrote:
I made a desktop file and put it in my .local/share/applications
directory
but it does not seem to be working?
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=WriterVM
Exec=qvm-open-in-dvm %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false

MimeType=x-scheme-handler/unknown;x-scheme-handler/about;text/html;text/xml;application/doc;application/dot;application/docx;application/xls;application/xlsx;application/ppt;application/pptx;
Any thoughts on why this is not working?
That looks fine. If you now register it via xdg-settings set
default-web-browser all other applications will attempt to open URLs
using the qvm-open-in-vm command.
More background and documentation:

(Well worth reading and understanding in detail!)

Hi Sven, thanks for responding!!! and apologies for the ambiguity.
I had no idea about that extension, but you nailed it! Very much
appreciated! I realize its beta (and seemingly no longer being
maintained?) but geeze that should be included in qubes by default!
will try to install it. Cheers
This is *supremely* useful, i often use dvms but then have pages i want
to send to another vm and end up having to open Firefox in that appvm
then c/p the link to the other appvm from the dvm; not a huge deal but
seemed like it could be stream lined.
After some head scratching i managed to clone and compile the xpi (I
dont really understand how to use git). It worked fine in the appvm
where i installed it but I then tried to copy the xpi to an appvm and
use it in that appvm but while it seemed to install fine it didn't
actually work:
despite my setting the default action to open in dvm it still blocks
every page and requires that allow be set for every link.
when i tried to right click on a link and select open in dvm or the
appvm that i made default nothing would happen.
So. I am usually hesitant to "experiment" on my templates so want to
first ask, if i install it on my template should it then be available in
all the appvms that are using that template?
Thanks in advance for the help!
