how do you clear "move/copy to other app vm" context windows

[cubit]

Is there a way to copy the suggested VMs in the "move/copy to other app vm" as I have a few entries that no longer exist and would like to get rid of them?

I suppose you've tried qvm-sync-appmenus in dom0

and/or in the VMM "refresh applications" ....


though, just a wild guess not an educated one

I think I was not too clear.   In the file browsers (nautilus) there is a right click context menu option to copy or move a file to another appvm.  I am trying to find how to clear these dialog boxes of the appvm names that are saved in them.

And it's Qubes 4.0 ?

In 3.2 I remember a problem like this , I recall someone in here,
probably Tasket, saying the ability to go and manually remove old
removed VM references was now gone.

If it is 3.2 it may be possible to do it manually, in 4.0 better ask
Unman or Awokd .....

Sorry, not sure. Didn't see any open or closed issue
(https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues) on it though. Maybe open a new
one?

Those aren't "suggested": they are taken from list of available qubes,
and I don't think they are cached.

Just to be clear, you have run 'qvm-remove foo', foo no longer appears
in the QubeManager, you cannot run a program in foo by (e.g) 'qvm-run -a foo
xterm', but foo appears in the drop down list for policy checking?

What is result of qvm-ls?
What happens if you select foo as a target?
Can you 'qvm-create foo'?

Thank you Unman,  this is on Qubes 3.2 maybe working differently

I have entries in the "suggested" list which includes old AppVM that no longer exist and even incomplete entries where I was too quick to hit return to send a file.  Example  I have "vaul"  (no such appvm ever exist) and "vault" (does exist appvm)

Ah, OK - on 3.2 the lists were indeed cached on the calling qube.

The rogue entries are stored in ~/.config/qvm-mru-filecopy in the qube
you are trying to copy from.
You can just edit that file to remove them from the list.

Thank you! Sanity restored :-)
