Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

R3.2


Expected behavior:

qvm-open-in-dvm reads from standard input and launches its contents in a DispVM.

Actual behavior:

Piping something to qvm-run-in-dvm returns Usage: /usr/bin/qvm-open-in-dvm filename

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run echo "test" | qvm-open-in-dvm

General notes:

This is may be more of a non-issue, but e.g. in mutt I have not been able to pipe an attachment to qvm-open-in-dvm, which would be nice.

(In mutt piping it to 1> tmp.pdf ; qvm-open-in-dvm tmp.pdf does not work either, but that may be unrelated to this command; it works elsewhere.)

qvm-open-in-vm $VM behaves the same way.

The purpose of qvm-open-in-dvm (or -vm) is to open a file there. So, this is expected behavior.
