As dom0 is not connected to the web, which is good of course, You would need to transfer after the screenshot over via qvm-copy or one the helper scripts, then open the screenshot, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it to the wiki (the wiki supports copy and paste and that's why I want a quick workflow). This is not a solution if you are used to write documentation with > 50 screenshots. Of course I am only using the screenshot tool from within one and the same AppVM not between AppVMs. Use Case: - launching my Office AppVM - opening our Ticketsystem (web-based) - opening our Wiki (webbased) I need to make screenshot to document stuff from the Ticketsystem. We are only talking about screenshots within one (1) AppVM. This is a common use case and must be supported.
