[qubes-users] How to open a file in a certain AppVM by a single double click (for secure file management)?
Dear Qubes community, I am looking for a safe and easy way to manage my documents, downloaded from the internet and saved on an external hard drive, with Qubes. A) Files in my file management qube (based on a template without any programm, that could open a file) should be openable in a certain AppVM or in the same dispVM. It takes a too long time to open every file in an extra dispVM. B) It would be very useful, if the file in the file management qube opens only by a double click in a certain qube for file view. Does anybody have a solution? Many thanks, Rainer Neumann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Test this at the command line in your file management qube first. You will also have to set policy in /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.OpeninVM in dom0 Then set this ( qvm-open-in-vm ) as the default file handling application - the right place to do this will depend on your DE - perhaps ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.lst If you want the disposableVM to close down when there are no open windows, install the shutdown-idle service, and enable it in that qube. Adjust the timer to whatever suits you: by default I think it is 5 minutes without an open window. Having this work by double click will (probably) vary depending on what file manager you are using. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] qubes-os // stand-alone reactos fails
Thank you Unman. I do not use React-OS anymore. It worked fine on Qubes 3. But I really think it was a bad decision to support only xvda. It is not only Android, React-os, Chrome-Os and others. It is about Qubes users. I will keep using Qubes-OS 4 even with his limitations, but I hope Qubes-os chooses to be easier to his users, in the future.
