The app doesnt have access to most of my directories. I take screenshots often and those get saved to /home/user/Pitcures. But im unable to open them in metadata cleaner.
But I’ve changed the use of deepin-screenshot with a default xfce4-screenshooter so I don’t need to install deepin-screenshot in dom0.
Here are the usage examples for keybinds:
i just dont think its logical to have screenshots saved in dom0. All i want is metadata cleaner to be functional so i can use it on pdfs, .docs, screenshots etc. THis is my main concern
You can use the qvm-screenshot-tool to upload your screenshots directly to your cleaner VM instead of saving them in dom0 and manually sending them to your cleaner VM.
Copy qvm-screenshot-tool.sh to your dom0 and change PrintScreen key binding to run this command:
To get screenshot with dialogs:
/home/user/qvm-screenshot-tool-xfce4.sh
To get fullscreen screenshot:
/home/user/qvm-screenshot-tool-xfce4.sh --fullscreen --upload-to-appvm-only -vm vault
To get crop screenshot:
/home/user/qvm-screenshot-tool-xfce4.sh --region-only --upload-to-appvm-only -vm vault
To get window screenshot:
/home/user/qvm-screenshot-tool-xfce4.sh --window --upload-to-appvm-only -vm vault
Do Qubes screenshots taken in dom0 even have any metadata to be concerned about? Is it even necessary to “clean” them of metadata in the first place?
Also, what about the Qubes “convert to trusted image” tool?
