Hello, I have made some research and it seems that it is not possible to make screenshots within one AppVM but only from dom0.
Having a short walk in our forest I came up with a great idea (at I think it is :-) which I would like to share to hear your opinions. I know that there are some screenshot tools for Qubes like the qvm-screenshot-tool, which are trying to make the screenshot workflow easier when taking screenshots from dom0. https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool/blob/master/README.md I would like to have a tool, which makes a screenshot on dom0 (select area which should be screenshoted) then save this to a file, which gets qvm-copied to the AppVM I need the screenshot on and then copy the graphic file into the clipboard and delete the file afterwards. This would make the workflow working with screenshots much easier. It seems that something like "copy graphic file to clipboard" can be done: https://askubuntu.com/questions/759651/how-to-copy-an-image-to-the-clipboard-from-a-file-using-command-line xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i example.png Can someone build a script in dom0 to do this? qvm-screenshot-to-appvm-clip - start 1) command to open a screenshot tool in dom0 with the possibility to select an area of the screen and make a screenshot. 2) after the taking the screenshot the screenshot is saved to a file on dom0 (/tmp/screenshot-.PNG 3) qvm-copy-to-appvm /tmp/screenshot-.PNG 4) qvm-run "copy-picture-to-clipboard.sh screenshot-.PNG" 5) copy-picture-to-clipboard.sh is a script in the AppVM which copy the file from the Qubes-Incoming/dom0 directory into the clipboard Maybe something like xclip mentioned here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/759651/how-to-copy-an-image-to-the-clipboard-from-a-file-using-command-line 6) delete the screenshot in the AppVm 7) delete the screenshot in dom0 - end What do you think? Wouldn't this feature be a great enhancement for working with Qubes?
