Hello everyone! I'm from Russia, not many understand your language. Very kindly requested to make the program can work in rappelz. Your program is very convenient, I do not see how you can play on without this program. Or tell me the analogue of this program. Thanks!

Beta Version 4.01 • Great upgrade -Except Removed "Simulate Keyboard &

2013-07-19T14:43:06-04:00

With the removal of this function "Permit programs in this sandbox to simulate keyboard and mouse input" - this has eliminated Sandboxed programs from "Scraping & Copying" from open Browser (Opera /Firefox) - rendering the Sandbox program in this case from efectively running and doing it's job.

Any way around this? - These settings did not carry over to the 4x version (not the 4.4 version). When upgraded from 3.76 - had to uninstall/re-install the older 3.76 version to keep this setting available and checked off - and the program worked just fine again in the Sandbox.

Help!

If you can provide a solution, or a suggestion (other than stop playing Rappelz ) I and a lot of other sandboxie users (that use it for web-browsers) would really appreciate it. Thanks! ^^

Unfortunately contacting the makers of GameGuard will prove fruitless (tho I may take your advice anyhow): they pointfingers at everyone but themselves all the time when it comes to compatibility issues or performance issues.
As it stands, I have a list of software (including video codecs) that gets terminated or crashes due to GameGuard

my advice is - do stop playing this game. it's the only effective way that we, customers, may utter our opinion and make a company rethink their stand. cheers!

I know you've said that several times. Sorry I even mentioned it here again instead of waiting to post my new benchmark... (Didn't feel like it last week.) Yeah, AppTimer and "thinking" (it's accurate as long as it's used carefully), so I wanted to completely remove it from the equation. Looks foolproof when done with Windows/browser and a few lines of JavaScript! I just want my results to match either your results, or your explanation(s), and you did say you could come back and look at it again sometime (I understand time on other stuff is a better use as I've said). I'm just curious to see others' results.

OK, thanks if you get a chance to check Firefox.

I mean the speed stuff. As a general rule I don't feel that v4 is slower than v3. I don't think it is a good use of my time to find out why AppTimer thinks program are starting half a second slower. I feel like at this point I've said this several times already.

I will look into the Firefox minimize thing.

Keep bringing this up? The Firefox thing? So 2 months and several releases isn't long enough before letting you know, since it seemed to be forgotten about? Or it's not fixable or you don't want to fix it...? I said that's why I replied, and this is "Things that don't work..."

Or you mean about the speed stuff? Well, you're the one that started posting about it in this topic instead of the other one , so I just mentioned something else quick... I figured I'd wait at least a month, since you're busy with other stuff, and then I didn't have anything else to say anyway until I came up with this benchmark/test (which I'd post later, and still only replied for Firefox).

So I don't see how waiting patiently forever is "keeping" bringing something up. What, has it been almost 9-10 months since the EMET crashes with Firefox that Sandboxie consistently and constantly keeps causing? It's been about 6 months since I posted any more details about that (might again soon, after seeing some other user comments), since I gave tons of info, but I don't know if you tried to look into it much -- and I asked about any tools I could use to help debug, etc.....

Also not sure why you keep telling me about MY time, haha. I have many different things to spend time on, and try to allocate it as best I can. It's a pretty small amount on this (and more of that was to give YOU info), but it had to be done. It's not like I can forget about it, since I'm stuck with either: 1) [Additional] slowness, or 2) Not configured to my liking.

Are you going to tell me about how I THINK about spending time also (vs actual time used)? That was a couple months ago I thought about making some tool specifically for this (it's that bad, and want to get others' results), but never spent a single minute on anything...

Then I woke up last week and magically thought of this idea (think flux capacitor!). Within 30 minutes of getting up, I had it working and haven't touched it since (want to tweak before "release"). Is that a small enough time?? Maybe you don't want a simple (superb/indisputable/dramatic) way for people to check? I just want to know what others are seeing with different settings, and this is easy and reliable.

I just checked it on Firefox (window creation, not launching), and got the same relative results. Although everything takes a lot less time overall, which is probably why I've hardly ever "felt" anything with Firefox.

BTW, after buying the license last Sep., I wanted to post a Positive Review, but never got around to it before the end of the year. Then I decided to wait after version 4 came out. Now I think everything is good functionality-wise (so I'm generally satisfied! ), but I cannot post said review until I see what's up with this (as long as there are conflicts between logic, your explanations, and my results)... Then I'd have the review within 30 days (even letting the EMET issue slide) -- that would be a promise, but I have to watch how I spend my time!!

You don't have to keep bringing this up, and I would suggest against spending your time developing ways to test this.

Since it's been almost 2 months, just wanted to let you know that the remaining Firefox/Pale Moon focus issue is still there on XP:

DR_LaRRY_PEpPeR wrote:Firefox is mostly fixed, and seemed good for awhile, but found another scenario where it's not refocusing. Focus: unsandboxed; sandboxed Firefox; and another unsandboxed. Minimize that last unsandboxed window, and then Firefox -- the next unsandboxed window is there, but not focused. (That's what would happen before if any other sandboxed windows were already minimized.)

About the speed differences with different OpenWinClass settings... (BTW, I wondered if the global Open=* change in 4.03.01 would change its speed at all, but seems the same (just info; it was/is already fastest...)).

Just last week I came up with an excellent and simple test that I'll post sometime soon, that others can easily check differences with (online and/or download). (Since I find AppTimer can give results that are "off" if not used carefully.) Not sure why I didn't come up with this sooner -- I had even been thinking about making some other timing program (ugh) just for this for people to check with, since it's so annoying... I still have to check the script on my other combinations of Windows/IE to make sure it works right.

Besides timing launching (results look like "right" AppTimer ones), I also have a version that shows the big differences creating windows in the already open IE (or any browser I guess, but I haven't timed anything but IE so far), which is really most of the difference with launching...

I would say the differences shown are about proportional to the differences I feel in some other windowing-related areas... Anyway, more on that later (just replied for Firefox issue), assuming there's no other findings/explanation/improvement coming yet.

I am not sure I understand how your problem report is related to OpenWinClass=*.
Copy/paste issues are fixed in version 4.03.04, you should upgrade to this version.

I use sanboxie with a sand boxed program needing text cut and pasted from outside the sandbox (from note pad or IE10 or Firefox)

it's not working now and if I try the program locks up

are the changes causing my problem and is there a way to allow it to work again as myself and and family use this all the time

if not, will you reconsider the changes to allow this again ?

As I said earlier in this topic, these changes are internal, and do not change the way you use Sandboxie.

Settings may be evaluated at a different point during program execuion, but they are evaluated the same way.

Beta Version 4.01 • New Version

2013-07-02T19:14:43-04:00

As for the new version, I'm curious about a few things.
As you stated, the main behaviour now is restricting before allowing which I really appreciate.

I didn't like a few main ways of behaviour in the old versions.
Mainly the part where you had to restrict access to specific files instead of allowing it.
Has this changed?

For example:
I want Firefox to be able to read a specific Filepath on a drive but no other path.
Do I now have the option to ONLY allow the access to this specific path?
So to whitelist only one path instead of having to blacklist every other path on that drive?

Thanks
