Automatic recovery

Post by henryg » Mon Apr 23, 2007 2:25 pm

I would like the automatic file recovery feature to be available on a folder by folder basis, not just as a global option.

The AutoRecover setting applies to folders listed in RecoverFolder settings.

The instructions say to use the Automatic cleanup section for this, which means that, if I understand correctly, when I tick the box it applies to all listed folders; whereas I only want 1 out of 4 folders auto-recovered. Or are you saying I can edit the ini file for indiividual folder recovery?

To answer my own question, tick the ebox, then manually edit the config file and delete the unwanted folder(s). :D

Duh, I hadn't reloaded the config file. It's a one setting for all option, so can I reinstate my original request.

I understand the request, but not the motivation. If you care to explain why this is important to you, you're welcome. In any case, it's been noted.

Here's my list of auto-recover folders:

%Favorites%
%Personal%
%Desktop%
c:\xxx
c:\yyy

For the last two only, I would like SB to ask me each time I put a file in those locatiions whether I want it saved immediately. The reason is that I inevitably wish to access those files quickly and permanently outside the sandbox, whereas for anything in the other locations, I mainly just want to know about it on exit.

Dude, tzuk answered your question in the first post:
The AutoRecover setting applies to folders listed in RecoverFolder settings.
See, thats all you got to do, just add the path (to your folder you'll be using) as a RecoverFolder, if you need to know how, just do this:
in SBIE Control, goto Configuration > Edit Configuration, then just add this to your ini (lets say you want to auto recover files in a folder called "Download" on your root drive);

e.g.
RecoverFolder=C:\Download

see how simple it is :wink:

I have been using the wrong terminology, referring to Autorecover when I should have been referring to 'immediate recovery'. It is the latter that I want applied to individual folders, which I think Tzuk understood,.

wtf... , thats how you get Immediaterecover working with those folders... here let me add something i didnt put in my previous post.

Edit your configuration and add the folders you want to be Immediately recovered the way i said in my previous post THEN add to your configuration this line

AutoRecover=Yes

there you have it, you will have ImmediateRecovery turned on, and it will immediately recover from any folders you have listed as RecoverFolder=blahblahblah.

That gives immediate recovery from all the listed folders, unless I am doing something completely daft. I want only two out of four recovery folders to have immediated recovery

Ahhhhhh, i see, so you have four recovery folders, 2 of those folders you want to just Quick Recover, the other 2 folders you want to Immediately Recover right? well, unfortunately you cant specify seperate folders for quick and immediate recovery :? , either turn immediate recovery on for all folders or off for all folders, sooooooo, maybe this should be a possible suggestion which could be to have the options to add folders using the current command "RecoverFolder"(which would be for the normal quick recovery) or a new command such as "ImmediateRecover"(which would be for immediate recovery) :idea:
