immediate recovery suggestions

Post by xellos » Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:30 am

immediate recovery - auto recover (like a yes to all) or auto recover when first pressing it..

when files are created the immediate recover option pops up but you have to select files and recover (and keep doing it for new files that get created) maybe add a function to auto copy the files (ie immediate recover option pops up then have a recover all button so you don't have to keep pressing it for new files.)

i know direct access or full access can do the same thing but setting that means the program can delete files from that Dir.

another suggestion i was thinking of would be and option to prompt for sandbox registry changes (or if it has to import something from the normal registry) , that way you could prevent sandboxie from writing keys that aren't needed

Hmm, I actually suggested this a while ago! One of the reasons the Immediate Recovery dialog was revised!
So yes I agree on this request.

About the registry part though, I dont really see the point of that???

Hey, that would be cool! Let us pick an autorecovery folder, :) and everytime something in the sandbox gets deleted, heave it into our recover folder!


I would really appreciate such a feature. This would totally illeviate my need for deleted file preservation in the sandbox, it would do it for me for all intents and purposes when I do the entire documents and settings folder.
Everything is so different, yet I am the same...

It's a nice idea but I'm not sure I want to burden the window with too many options.

What I do is I move the Immediate Recovery window to the edge of the screen and let it keep collecting the stuff, eventually I come back to it and press Ctrl+A to move all the files at once.

Another option is to tick "don't ask again" on Immediate Recovery and then use Quick Recovery to move everything at once.

Please stop asking for your pet feature all over the place.

immediate recover improvements.

in the immediate recovery dialog it has a few annoying features:)

1. when its open you can't use sandboxie for other tasks since it locks the main background window.
2. hiding the box off screen is a pain, plus sometimes pressing space can close / recover files when forgetting its open.

so my thoughts would be to

1. make it so it can stay open but still be able to use sandboxie for other tasks
2. maybe put a "background" button into it so it can minimize into a separate taskbar icon (maybe something like how window updates, or low on disk space icon works)
3. yes to all when overwrite.
(also, i was wonder if direct access and full access (under file access)should be reversed, since full access has more access then direct, i dunno but it sounds backwards to me)
