"Automatic" Recovery for specific folder

[nicknomo]

First, let me say I love Sandboxie. Its security is great, and it has minimal impact on my system. I feel bullet proof.

I am having a few "usability" issues that are bugging me. Here is my use case, I hope this makes sense to you.

1) Automatic recovery for specific folder - I love sandboxie, but I download a lot of things and it really is a pain in the butt to have the quick recovery come up every single time I download something. I'm often downloading multiple files at once, and it would be nice if I could specify a specific folder (w/ subfolders) where I just wasn't prompted. Maybe it could also be tied to an app if you think this is too much of a security risk? For instance - google chrome -> My docs/downloads/my super special jpeg folder/ would automatically recover.

This would really make sandboxie more of a pleasure to use and prevent sandboxie from slowing me down. I realize that a web script could potentially flood me with background downloads of malware to this folder, but I would rather have a smoother transition when brining some thing out of the sandbox...


2) Google chrome "show in folder" download option does not work [b/] - Not sure if this is actually a bug.. but when I click on "Show in folder" for a download in Chrome, nothing happens. Oddly enough, firefox and IE can launch an explorer window just fine... but not in chrome. I could really use this feature of chrome, and managing downloaded files is just slower without it.

As far as designating a folder that bypasses Quick Recovery (and Immediate Recovery), and tying that setting to one app - you can already do that with:
Resource Access > File Access > Direct Access
Put the program's .exe name in "The list above applies to:" box and then navigate to the folder where you always want the program to store specific files, outside of the sandbox.
You might wind up with something like:
OpenFilePath=chrome.exe,%Personal%\downloads\my super special jpeg folder\

If you want to make sure that only .jpeg files can use this setting, just add *.jpeg at the end of the line.
You may also need another line, but with *.jpg at the end.
OpenFilePath=chrome.exe,%Personal%\downloads\my super special jpeg folder\*.jpeg
OpenFilePath=chrome.exe,%Personal%\downloads\my super special jpeg folder\*.jpg
----
If you wanted multiple programs to be able to save files directly to that folder, bypassing Quick Recovery, you could create a ProcessGroup setting (v3.45.04 or greater required).
At the present time, ProcessGroup lines need to be created manually - not using the GUI.
Allowing Chrome, Firefox, and IE to save .jpeg files to that folder - bypassing Quick Recovery:

ProcessGroup=<Jpeg_File_Bypass>,chrome.exe,firefox.exe,iexplore.exe
OpenFilePath=<Jpeg_File_Bypass>,%Personal%\downloads\my super special jpeg folder\*.jpeg
OpenFilePath=<Jpeg_File_Bypass>,%Personal%\downloads\my super special jpeg folder\*.jpg

oops, I had not noticed that!

This is exactly what I was looking for though! Thanks.

I will post the Chrome thing under bug reports, because I'm guessing it does not belong here..
