How to Save Video and Audio Files While Sandboxed

Post by Lode » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:15 pm

Hi!
I've noticed a few times that I don't get the quick recovery option after downloading a video or audio file. I always get it for software downloads and Adobe Documents. Is there a way to set it so I'll also get that option for video and audio files?

As an example for which today I had to go online unsandboxed to save it:

Hi Lode, if you are not getting the Immediate recovery prompt after you finish downloading a video like from the link you posted, make sure wmv is not in the list of files to be excluded from being prompted. Look in Sandbox settings>Recovery>Immediate recovery. If you see wmv in the list, then thats the reason you are not getting prompted. Removing wmv should get the prompt back.

But, even if you don't get an immediate recovery pop up, you can still recover the download by right clicking the SBIE icon, hovering the mouse over the sandbox and clicking Quick recovery. Or at the end, when you close the sandboxed program, the Quick recovery window should open up if there are dowenloads that have not been recovered. So, you dont need to browse unsandboxed to save files of any kind.

Thank you. :D

In Sandbox Settings > Quick Recovery > Add Folder > I saw among the other things "Videos" and tapped on that. To check I removed that video from my laptop, downloaded it again sandboxed, and the recovery popup appeared. 8)
