Hi all:
I want to move from Parallels (on Mac) to VirtualBox. There is one
feature in Parallels I'd like to continue using: sharing guest
applications with host.
For example, with Parallels I can open a file on Mac (host) directly
within Windows (guest).
I know of guestcontrol. For instance, in order to open an URL, I execute
the following on my Mac terminal:
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage guestcontrol "Lubuntu (Web)" --username xxx --passwordfile
~/.virtualbox/pw_lubuntuweb run --putenv DISPLAY=:0 --exe /usr/bin/firefox -- firefox -new-tab
"$URL"
This works, however, it is not like dragging a file onto an application
icon on my Mac that opens the file with the corresponding app within the
VM. (It also would be nice to set the default Web browser on Mac to one
within a VM.)
Does anyone have a good solution for that, possibly using AppleScript or
Automator that would let me mimic Parallels shared applications for
VirtualBox (at least for selected applications)?
Thanks for any hint.
Best,
Claus
