Hi,

I have working win7 VM with QWT installed on Qubes R4. I would like to create file association so that all .pptx files get opened in my win7 VM. If I try running qvm-open-in-vm win7 somefile.pptx I still get the pop-up asking me in which VM i want to open the file.. So it seems the command line parameter for VM is not taken into account..

How can I fix this?

it probably is, but you need to authorize it anyways: security.

To add to this, is it possible to have "disposable win7vms?" and then
have it not prompt for anything?
