Sandboxie ( Open File Path and Recover Folder Problem )

[Chevallier0078]

Hello, i would like to create an open File path in the view to use the "Bookmark Backup" FireFox plugin. This extension create automatic and periodic backups of the bookmarks inside a specific directory that is not located inside the system partition ( somedays, i didn't recover the Sandbox and if a crash occur in the system, i won't be able to recover the last bookmarks after formating ! ).
Normally the open File path is supposed to let sandboxed programs have direct access to update files and folders outside the sandbox.

So i have tried to modified my sandboxie.ini ( i'm using a 3.01 registrated version wich is an older version but i don't want to update for different reasons ) in the view to open the File path :

[DefaultBox]

Enabled=yes
CopyLimitKb=300000
OpenProtectedStorage=yes
OpenFilePath=thunderbird.exe,%AppData%\Thunderbird
OpenFilePath=thunderbird.exe,%Local AppData%\Thunderbird
OpenFilePath=iexplore.exe,%Favorites%
OpenFilePath=firefox.exe,%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\bookmark*

THIS is the insertion i have made :
OpenFilePath=%Personal%\BOOKMARKS\
OpenFilePath=J:\BOOKMARKS\BOOKMARK BACKUP\

But it's not working .. although the automatic updates are still working because i can see them when i open windows explorer sandboxed.


The second problem i didn't understand : i would like to recover those updates inside a specific partition i have made to all my backups. But when i specify the recover Folder in the sandboxie.ini it's strange but it's not working in the partition i want ( i have 3 partitions : C + I + J .. J = Backups partition .. if i put the recover folder in I : it's working // if i put the recover folder in J : it's not working ! ) :

RecoverFolder=%Favorites%
RecoverFolder=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
RecoverFolder=%Personal%
RecoverFolder=%Desktop%

RecoverFolder=I:\TEMP\MES FICHIERS RECUS
RecoverFolder=J:\BOOKMARKS\BOOKMARK BACKUP


Thank you in advance if someone understand the solution !

First thing to try, surround paths with spaces in quotes.

RecoverFolder=J:\BOOKMARKS\BOOKMARK BACKUP

try this

RecoverFolder="J:\BOOKMARKS\BOOKMARK BACKUP"

I cant remember if this is important in SB or not, but very easy first thing to try.

I have tried your Formulation inside sandboxie.ini but it's not working : when i create a new File inside those sandboxed Folders, the recovery is only working inside the partition I and not inside J ! ..

RecoverFolder=I:\TEMP\MES FICHIERS RECUS
RecoverFolder="J:\BOOKMARKS\BOOKMARK BACKUP"

i have tried to simplify the path : RecoverFolder=J:\BOOKMARKS .. but the problem is still there.

It should work, although an older version such as that perhaps could be the limitation.

For example I do this in the latest version

First I made a template to be used in any sandbox that looks like this
[Template_Local_Allow_Direct_Access]

Tmpl.Title=Allow_Direct_Access
Tmpl.Class=Local
OpenFilePath=%Personal%\My Downloads\

I use this template in a sandbox like this

Template=Local_Allow_Direct_Access

I also use some recovery directories, which look like this

RecoverFolder=c:\documents and settings\%user%\My Documents\My Music

Really, looking at your examples, assuming you have rights to access/manipulate the direct access or recove directories, I don't see why it does not work.

I have just realised that some modifications inside sandbox.ini are not immédiatly active without rebooting the system .. That is the case with the recover Folders and the allow direct access : everything is working after a simple reboot ! I apologize the loss of time and thanks for your help.
