Configuration in /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenInVM not applied

[Major Lazor]

Trying to configure dom0s /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenInVM I get an
unexpected result.

The current config is

cat /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenInVM:
office @dispvm ask,default_target=internet
@anyvm @anyvm ask

Using Nautilus command "View in DisposibleVM" in VM office I get a
separate dispvm for every call which is based on the VMs default
dvm-template. I am not asked anything - am I doing something wrong?

There is some additional documentation in
https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/common-tasks/opening-urls-in-vms.md.
I think you are probably expecting the behaviour described in the "Using
"named" dispVMs" section.

Just to check: that is a typo isnt it?
The file you want is /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.OpenInVM in dom0
My dom0 doesnt have a file you reference, but qubes do, with different
content.

That was it I think. The file did not exist on my dom0, but I created
it. I expected a "if not existing use default policy" case. The page

https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/common-tasks/opening-urls-in-vms.md

does not contain the substring "/policy" so I guess this is a mistake in the doku, isn't it?

Thank you.
