"Quick Clear" feature (or name it what you want)

[MikeJ]

Just thinking, as a new user, if anyone else would agree it would be easier to have an 'easily accesible' menu option something like "Clear X Sandbox". This could, in one step, close or terminate all programs running in it, bring up recover option if desired (option to bypass if not), then delete contents. This would just save a few steps, but for us lazy clickers it would help Maybe I`m only one? Of course it wouldn't matter what it's actually called - 'empty', 'clear', 'shut down', or 'kill' (I like this one)

I made a quick screenshot of what it might look like.

I've taken the liberty of adding the screenshot here so it shows up correctly:




Anyways, i think thats a pretty good idea, lets you just do all the cleaning up related options in one click!

Sorry about the mess above. SnDPhoenix, thanks for posting that correctly. When I first posted, I swear it was there in message, I don't understand what happened.

Anyway, glad someone else agrees. Hopefully Tzuk does as well? after all, thats really all that matters I forgot to add, that a menu entry for each box running would be appropriate, else ruin the point! I.E.:

......................................................
Clear "DefaultBox"
Clear "Box2"
Clear "BoxieBoxerBox"
......................................................

Also, as side note, I find myself fumbling around trying to get correct box selected when configuring settings, recovering items, and whatnot. I think there should be easier way, but understandably I don't know how that part could be changed very much. As much as I love Sandboxie already, it must be the least end-user friendly software that I personally have. (my very first impression of Sandboxie was "why the pizza?") But, it just works so darn well, I can't justify NOT using it.

Believe me, I am not blind to the crudeness of the Sandboxie interface. I am working on making that aspect of Sandboxie better, and that will go far beyond changing the right-click menu. Most of the interface-related suggestions so far have been good, including yours, and all suggestions are being taken into consideration.

Thanks for reply Tzuk, I am no programmer, but I try to understand your difficult task of seperating "features" from "bloat". I don't envy the process. I do respect your commitment to make SB as small and stable as possible, (runs between 600-800k on my machine, WOW!) I`m no fan of bloat either. All in all I`m convinced your final judgements are for the best (your good judgement to include other ideas), so I cant wait to see what is to come for Sandboxie.

Just a quick idea for icon: how about a sand castle? Sand is obvious relation, and a castle relates being "secure", but as in SB, easily washes away. I realize it may require too much detail for a systray icon.
