Thunderbird - open all attachments in dispvm

MrA · December 7, 2022, 9:17pm

I have Thunderbird (102.5.1) in fedora-36 (4.1.1), and I’ve enabled the service app-dispvm.thunderbird to open attachments in a dispvm.

I have the option (along with default viewer) to open .jpg with qvm-open-in-dvm.

Is it possible to enable the qvm-open-in-dvm as default for all file types?

Not that I know of. See:

**Qubes OS version** `Qubes release 4.0 (R4.0)` **Affected component(s) or f…unctionality** thunderbird-qubes **Brief summary** The Qubes integration with Thunderbird uses a legacy extension that will break in Thunderbird 78. **To Reproduce** `vim /usr/lib64/mozilla/extensions/*/qubes-attachment@qubes-os.org/manifest.json` **Expected behavior** No `legacy` key **Actual behavior** A `legacy` key is present. **Screenshots** N/A **Additional context** I am not sure if this is possible, given the need to override core functionality of Thunderbird. We should probably discuss this with Mozilla. Mozilla accepts feature requests for extension APIs, and provides a method (experiments) for implementing workarounds in the meantime. This will be disabled eventually, but not for years. **Solutions you've tried** N/A **Relevant [documentation](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/) you've consulted** https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/about-add-ons **Related, [non-duplicate](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/reporting-bugs/#new-issues-should-not-be-duplicates-of-existing-issues) issues** none

Many thanks @adw

Great to read the thread, and to see it’s something that will (hopefully) be soon.
