I am trying to configure special window rules for some VirtualBox machines.
I want the virtual machines to always open in virtual desktop/workspace 2.
I have many virtual machines but a few I use almost daily. Many years
ago I created *.desktop files to launch these few systems without
needing to launch the VirtualBox Manager. I have used devilspie to force
launching in desktop 2.
While devilspie works well in TDE, I want to do this natively with TDE
special window rules.
I have been unable to configure special rules in TDE to ensure the
virtual machines open in desktop 2.
Everything I try in TDE special rules results in the virtual machines
opening in the current desktop.
Other special window rules are working as expected.
Selecting the special rules "Detect" button does not help.
I suspect something different about VirtualBox that is not obvious.
Help is appreciated with respect to creating TDE special rules.
Thank you!
P.S.
To simulate the *.desktop files, launch the mini cli (Alt+F2) and launch
a virtual machine like this:
vboxmanage startvm "name_of_virtual_machine"
