Hi,

I've bought Sandboxie and i'm realy happy with it.
One small big wish.

I'd like to see this feature implemented. I don't think it has?

Just like with closed filepath, having specific exclusions for subfolders in a forced folder wouldn't be possible without rebuilding the mechanism from the ground up, accoriding to Tzuk.

IMO I don't see how this feature is of any benefit. You could easily move whatever program exe.s into a separetly created folder in which you can assign to the forced list. Thats how I'd do it.

Actually, "forced programs/folders" is handled differently than open/closed Resource Access paths, so the technical limitations are not the same. And in fact I've been thinking about merging all the forced settings into one setting which could offer more flexiblity.

Of course Tzuk would know more on this than me. :) I just assumed that it would be the same for both cases.
