Hi Dave

If you want to customise the menu, then the process is carried out in
dom0, not in a template.
If you are using the default of Xfce, then look at:
https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
In general, to run a program in a qube, you use something like this:
qvm-run -q --service --  qubes.StartApp+
or:
qvm-run -q  

The former form expects a desktop file, the latter uses a program name.
You can test these from a command line in dom0 to make sure that you
have the right format, and then create an appropriate menu item using
the command.

If you need more help, feel free to ask

cheers

[qubes-users] VMApp files from template

2019-01-15 Thread Dave Albiston

Hi there

I am new to Qubes so please be patient!

How can I access files in my VMApp folders from the template? I need to 
do this to add a menu option to run a script stored in the VMApp.


Many thanks
