Problem with OpenFilePath in 3.00.06

[wraithdu]

Just tried the new version, and some of my OpenFilePath settings are not working. They previously worked in .05.

This works -

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,C:\Download
...C:\Download\*.*
...C:\Download\*.exe

This does not -

...C:\Download\
...C:\Download\*

By all accounts, all 4 of those should produce the same result. The latter 2, downloaded files are caught in the sandbox.

[tzuk]

Could not reproduce. C:\Download and C:\Download\ and C:\Download\* worked fine for me.

[wraithdu]

Ok, little more info. This is what's in my INI -

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,C:\Download\
ForceProcess=firefox.exe (probably irrelevant)

I can't save files to the C:\Download\ directory. However I can save files to subdirectories under C:\Download\, like C:\Download\Sandboxie\. The same problem exists in .07 now too.

Did you recently force Firefox in your sandbox?
What happens without that force?

[tzuk]

I tried again... With firefox.exe named in the OpenFilePath (and sometimes OpenPipePath), and without. Still works.

[wraithdu]

I'm not sure what other info I can give. I get the same results with or without ForceProcess, same results if I install Sandboxie locally or if I use my portable launcher. Same thing persists in .08. I even tried disabling RegDefend that was giving me issues earlier. It's just so weird that I can't save in C:\Download but I CAN save in C:\Download\<anything here>

EDIT - Just tried again with .05 and I get the same problem.

OpenFilePath=%Desktop% works ok
OpenFilePath=%SystemDrive%\Download\ does not

For now I'll stick with OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,C:\Download\*.* which seems to work just fine. Still don't understand it, but oh well.

I was testing with a newly created Download directory, so you may want to give that a try, rename your existing Download, re-make it, and try to save something in it.

But make sure you rename the directory itself rather than move all of its contents. That would be important in case the problem is related to the security/permission settings of the Download folder itself.

[wraithdu]

I thought you were on to something, but no luck. I tried what you suggested as well as making an entirely new differently named directory, no luck.

[tzuk]

EDIT - Just tried again with .05 and I get the same problem.

At least that makes sense, because I don't remember making any changes between .05 and .06 that should cause this.

Are you deleting your sandbox periodically?

[wraithdu]

Yep, I deleted it after each attempt/change made to the INI file. Also made sure to reload the config. Here's the whole thing in case it helps, but it's nothing exotic.

EDIT - removed big code box

[tzuk]

Your INI looks fine. Try removing the Firefox.exe prefix and then create and rename files in C:\Download through a command prompt. See where the files are created.

[wraithdu]

Got some scary results with that. First I changed my INI to

OpenFilePath=C:\Download\

then emptied the sandbox and reloaded the INI. I opened a sandboxed instance of cmd.exe, went to the download directory, then renamed a file as such -

WinSpy17.zip -> WinSpy.zip

What resulted was WinSpy17.zip was deleted from my system and WinSpy.zip appeared inside the sandbox. I could then recover WinSpy.zip from the sandbox. If I changed to

OpenFilePath=C:\Download\*.*

then WinSpy17.zip was renamed correctly and remained in the C:\Download\ folder.

wraithdu: I've been following this thread, and can confirm that the following does not save my downloads to the un-sandboxed C:\FxDownloads folder, assuming that's what the OpenFilePath is supposed to do. It does save it in the sandboxed FxDownloads folder. (I also tried it with the Firefox.exe, prefix in the OpenFilePath line.

[TestBox]
Enabled=yes
CopyLimitKb=32768
OpenFilePath=c:\fxdownloads\

RecoverFolder=%Personal%

BlockDrivers=y
BlockFakeInput=y
BlockWinHooks=y

BoxNameTitle=y

Using 3.00.08 on Win XP Pro SP2.
RecoverFolder=C:\FxDownloads\ is what I normally use, instead of OpenFilePath - and it works.

[wraithdu]

Thanks Paul_K, that's what I've been experiencing as well. And yes, that's what OpenFilePath is supposed to do.

Can you confirm that

OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,C:\fxdownloads\*.*

saves files to the un-sandoxed (ie, real) directory?

[SnDPhoenix]

Alright, im gonna try this and see if it happens with me too.......

*EDIT* I get the same results......... as tzuk. Everything works fine, i tried OpenFilePath=C:\Downloads and it worked fine, so did OpenFilePath=C:\Downloads\ and OpenFilePath=C:\Downloads\*, it also works fine if i specify the name of the browsers executable along with the path to open like this OpenFilePath=opera.exe,C:\Downloads, sorry guys, but i couldnt reproduce this either, btw i tried with .06 and .08
