Hey again,

I have quite some VMs that I don't use very often (e.g. for backup
reasons). I'd like to hide those without hiding all inactive VMs.
Is it possible to mark an own VM as "internal" like the fedora-23-dvm
template?

For future versions it might be nice to be able to group VMs or set as
"hidden".
If this is a security concern one could define that running VMs are
always shown, no matter whether they are hidden or not.

Absolutely you can.
qvm-prefs -s internal True

This has the added benefit of keeping those qubes off the menu.

Simple as that ? - thank you!
I checked the config files and did not find the "internal" switch
