Hi!

I use ANGRYsearch with firejail. When I open an mp4 file, vlc is opened within the same sandbox.
Is it possible to add an option e.g.: outside vlc,evince,gedit to specify which programs to be opened in their own sandbox with their profile?

Thanks.

Once you set a sandbox, there is no way to start applications outside the sandbox.
