Hi,

now there is a Templates.ini in Sandboxie's program folder which contains predefined rules for applications.

For example, if you "Allow direct access to entire Firefox profile" via Sandbox Settings, then there is a line in the Sandboxie.ini:
folderTemplate=Firefox_Profile_DirectAccess
And the related settings for this template can be found in the Templates.ini.

In my opinion these new settings and templates for application make Sandboxie much easier to configure for the common users. :thumb:

Cheers

Tzuk never says die. Yet another improvement release, bug fixes, and it's as solid as a hunk of granite.

Thanks for the update notice. DONE!

when i press check for update, sandboxie says ther is no new update? does this new version not get auto updated?

In this version, how long does opening Firefox take "sandboxed" verses "not sandboxed"? Feel free to post cold starts or warm starts.

Thanks for any replies!" }-

from my experience SB open + browse fireFox slowly , i mean more slow than FF open with out SB installed

Guess not,as I had to manually download the new version.

Can't answer and to tell the truth I don't care. With Sandboxie, I have the peace of mind. Worth the few seconds.

I agree,what's a few seconds against bulletproof protection.;)

[Someone]

Thanks for the heads up!

[andyman35]

-{ Quote: "Thanks, that's answered my question then. So still a delay on opening browsers, which I probably do several times a day. I guess I am a bit of a perfectionist, and really dislike any form of slowdown.

No such thing as bulletproof protection haha, read my thread "No such thing as 100%". All you really need is a HIPS, some sort of black-listing technology, a dose of common sense, (and a rollback management system). But yeah, whatever makes you happy is fine too!

Back on topic, well done SandBoxie!" }-
Well I didn't go as far as to say nuclear bunker protection but SBIE does offer protection against the overwhelming majority of threats.;D

As for slowdown I'm the most impatient user ever and hate delays but SBIE really only adds minimally to the time Opera takes to initialize (FF slightly more but still not a threat to my blood pressure.)

[jmonge]

for me in my case i don't tolerate any slow browsers due to a security app:)
i want to be as fast as speedy gonzales "andale" "andale" ;D that's why i have ie6 "i believe i can fly" i believe i can touch the sky";)

[demoneye]

i think the term " what's a few seconds against bulletproof protection." is right and said in the right time ...when u got infected and need to restore/backup/clean your pc , u will maybe understand this sentence lol ;D

[Peter2150]

The delay's of Sandboxie, while they can be measured are minor compared to the overal delay of say having realtime AV's and AS's running. I run without them primarily because of Sandboxie.

I was a little hopeful that my 28 to 30 second FF cold startup with SBie might have improved with the new version after all the posts about start up time at the SBie forum, but it was not to be. I even tried sandboxing Opera because it doesn't have all the extensions that get blamed for slow downs, and SBie slowed Opera down too. Oh well, I guess I'll just accept it. :P

Instant FF non-sandboxed and about three seconds sandboxed.

Subsequent sandboxed FF starts are neary instant?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, how many of you have FF's inbuilt "check fraud sites", your resident AV "check fraud sites" and some link checker app "check fraud sites" as well.?

Turn the whole lot off and start surfing with a bit of speed through Sandboxie as anything that comes through the net is completely isolated!

Why turn the whole lot off? :P GeSWall - Chromium - AVG 8.5 free (with linkscanner)- Google web rating loads cold < 1 sec, subsequent also in a blink (on an E5200 low end dual core). A sandbox does not protect you from stupidly shopping from fraudelous sites. But then again most people shopping from those sites won't have a sandbox. My guess is that Franklin is the intelligent actor in preventing this.

Well I'm old enough to remember the bad old days of waiting time counted in minutes rather than seconds.;D

[IceCube1010]

-{ Quote: "Well I'm old enough to remember the bad old days of waiting time counted in minutes rather than seconds.;D" }-

I thought I was the old guy here. Anyway, I have run SBIE with FF 3.1 and IE 8 and there is a delay before starting the browsers. There is also a delay with using Geswall with these browsers. I think the xx number of seconds is well worth the wait for the security that is getting setup behind the scenes.

Just my .02cents

Yes in fairness I can't notice any significant slowdown while surfing sandboxed only the browser startup.

[HungJuri]

Firefox has taken forever to load on the initial startup from day 1 years ago - thats why I don't use it anymore. Then the next startups after that first one would be quicker. Well wouldn't it be so that every startup in sandboxie would act like a first start - if you are auto deleting that sandbox. Why not try it without auto delete and set Ccleaner to empty the box on reboot? ::) And you probably have like 8 million things checking for file and registry changes that are given the go-ahead when not sandboxed, but have to be rechecked everytime in an empty sandbox.

[waters]

No slowdown at all with Chrome,Firefox was ages so changed to Chrome and wont change now

* Fixes related to Windows Vista:

* Support "Run As" UAC elevation requests for sandboxed programs.
* Fixed a problem with Internet Explorer 8 when User Account Controls (UAC) is enabled.
* Fixed a problem that prevented a clean start of Windows Installer.
* Fixed a problem with starting Windows Live Messenger.
* Fixed a problem with use of some plug-and-play hardware such as webcams and joysticks.

Ok...I thought SandboxIE didn't work with Vista?
If it works with Vista I will be happy as a pig in you-know-what!

It's been compatible with Windows Vista for quite some time now.

[Luxeon]

Excellent!

But...does that include x64? I believe there were issues with compatibility or something.

[Peter2150]

-{ Quote: "Excellent!

No. Sandboxie isn't supporting X64. Patchguard issues.

Sanboxie 3.36.04 is now available for download. I cannot find any information as to what it does. Does anyone know?

Relative to the first 3.36, some fixes for Firefox and for Online Armor, as best I can recall from my reading at tzuk's forum. Sorry I can't be more precise.

EDIT: I guess it would be prudent to accompany my assertion above with the following link to demoneye's complaint: http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5431&highlight=

Isn't v3.36.01 still waiting for release? I got mine yesterday from someone's post early I was told.

The Sandboxie website indicates that the released version 3.36 was updated to 3.36.04 today.

36.04 got bug with online armor 3.5 , they can work together only if u dont intend to use any "windows shell integration " .

u can read my comment on SB forum + i add picture with the error it gave

glade u brought it to here crofttk , i was just about find a way writing this issue it in here :)

EDIT
i found a way to make 36.04 work under online armor , u just need to exclude c:\program files\Sandbox in online armor option , is that sound like a good normal solution?

[subset]

-{ Quote: "36.04 got bug with online armor 3.5 , they can work together only if u dont intend to use any "windows shell integration " ." }-
Can't confirm, I can run any program from Explorer Context Menu sandboxed without problems.

Did you try to create a new sandbox without any modifications and run the programs in this sandbox?

-{ Quote: "

Well, it's a workaround and probably will not hurt.
But it's strange, because for me it looks like a file from SBIE folder was maybe not trusted at OA Programs and this has caused the issue with the shell command.

-{ Quote: "Can't confirm, I can run any program from Explorer Context Menu sandboxed without problems.

its doesnt work 100% , i back to 36.01 and all my SB shortcuts ("windows shell integration ") start to work,

even i make new "windows shell integration " they gave same error when double click on them

[demoneye]

btw i found this

for all online armor 3.5.0.9 who got the delayslow down at windows boot , try exclude your sandbox directory and u will notice its start normal , i am sure this method may work also for defensewall users (haven't check yet)

cheers ;D

I can't find any referance to .04 at the SBie forum. Can you give me a thread title to look for? Also when I click check for updates in SBie it says there are no updates. I'm using .01

Again I am not sure it's a bug, but some conflict you are seeing, demoneye. I tested your scenario and I don't have any problem

[demoneye]

-{ Quote: "Again I am not sure it's a bug, but some conflict you are seeing, demoneye. I tested your scenario and I don't have any problem" }-

its 100% an error , when down grade back to 36.01 akk back to life again and shortcut key works , over top 36.04 build , and they aint work

even do a clean install of 36.04 , with out OA present and after that install OA armor, its fails with present shortcuts

so it 100% some sort of bug / error u name it :)
