Immediate Recovery tweak.

Post by SnDPhoenix » Wed Jul 18, 2007 1:32 pm

I've been using sandboxie for a long time, and eventually Immediate Recovery was introduced, funny thing though is that i've never used it, well i just started using it, and it kicks ass, but theres only one problem. When i goto save a file to a specified recovery folder, the immediate recovery dialog will come up and ask me if i want to recover that file to the same folder, a diff folder, or not now. Well i always hit recover to same folder, well it starts to get annoying to have to click it for every file saved, so i went ahead and checked the box "Don't prompt again until all sandboxed programs stop" thinking that it would remember what i click ( recover to same folder) and wouldnt ask me again until i close all sandboxed programs and reopen a program sandboxed. Only problem is that thats not what it did, instead it only let me recover that one file, every other file i saved had to be recovered through quick recover since the immediate recovery dialog wouldnt come up anymore (unless i closed the browser). So my "Request" is can you add a second checkbox named something like "Remember setting until all sandboxed programs stop" that way when i check the box and hit "Recover, to same folder" it would save every subsequent file from then on without asking me and wouldnt ask me again until i closed all sandboxed programs?

Yeah i second this feature, countless times i've had to click through 200+ immediate recovery prompts, this would make it easier.

The way I've changed it is this way:

The Immediate Recovery window pops up when some file is available for recovery, but until you close that window, any more files that are created will collect into that same window.

Additionally, you can select multiple files at once to recover into one folder.

And you also have a list of "Recently Used" folders which is automatically updated to follow your folder selections.

I hope it will be a good solution for you.

Actually that is better, since it will also allow me to exclude a file(s) that i may actually not want to be recovered. Also, the "Recently Used" idea is a nice addition. Good job tzuk.Image
