Leftover Sandbox names....

[Ruhe]

There is already a thread about this (can't find it at the moment) but still no fix for it.

After deleting a sandbox the SbieCtrl_BoxExpandedView_NAME entry in the ini file will not be removed. So the ini is messed up with this after creating and deleting several sandboxes for testing purposes.

Just noticed this on my system too. I searched* briefly for the thread, but didn't get any hits. Anyway, can we manually delete the old sandbox name entries in the ini file or is it no big deal that they remain there?

* "boxexpandedview"

It's a (minor) bug and it should not be the users job to fix this by hand.

It doesn't hurt if these old lines remain there, and I don't consider this a serious issue.

When you decide to remove a Sandbox, there's still traces of it in the Sandboxie.ini

For example:

I create a new Sandbox called MyNewSandbox and then decide to remove it.

You will find this in Sandboxie.ini

Code: Select all

SbieCtrl_BoxExpandedView_MyNewSandbox=Y

In future, can we expect to have this small issue to taken care of?

Thank you.

Weird, when I try to did a search for SbieCtrl_BoxExpandedView prior to creating this topic, the search doesn't pick up anything. Sorry.

Sorry, my was not against you, but to the problem.

Haha, I checked my ini and have like 45 of those entries leftover
But is it really a problem though? I hadn't even noticed it until you guys brought it up...

As long as it isn't hurting anything, why worry about it?

[Ruhe]

Nothing more to say.

You guys must always name your new boxes something new I guess. I have test1 test2 and test3 and when I get rid of them, I don't go to test4 test5 and test6. I go right back to test1, test2, and test3.

Yep, I always tend to either name the sandbox after which program I will be installing/running in that sandbox (along with the programs version number if I am using multiple versions of the same program, like if I am using the stable version of something unsandbox and decided to test the beta version of the same software, without replacing the stable version installed).
Or I name the sandbox after what I will be using the sandbox for (Games, shopping, banking, pr0n, media, installation tests, etc.).

In the far future, perhaps. I just don't consider this a really pressing issue.
