Hi Everyone,

Speaking with a colleague earlier today, I heard "Qubes is great, but
the no screenshots problem makes it a 'hard' no for me".

As a Qubes user and advocate, this stung.

Yeah, it's hard.

Honestly, in my humble opinion, the secure copy and paste keyboard
shortcuts should work with image data as well, not just text data.  That
way the screenshot problem is solved -- I can screenshot in one VM, copy
directly from that app (usually Firefox), and paste in another VM at will.


A solution discussed here some months ago: in dom0 have 2 files:
1.) screenshot.sh

#!/bin/bash
qvm-copy-to-vm $(zenity --entry --title='Send to VM' --text='Destination
VM') "${BASH_ARGV[@]}"


2) and userapp.screenshot.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Exec=/home/put-your-username-here/screenshot.sh %f
Name=screeenshot.sh
Comment=Sends screenshot directly to a given AppVM


after hitting PrintScr, check "open with" and select screenshot.sh,
(will be memorised for next time). Then type the destination AppVM & its
there. No autocomplete offered, sorry.
