    I've used Sandboxie for a long time & decided to try Sandboxie Plus. I currently have version 0.8.8. With plain Sandboxie, let's say I downloaded 4 files. An immediate recovery box would open. I could use the shift key & select which of the files I wished to keep all at once, as long as they were going to the same folder.

    With Sandboxie Plus, although I can Shift+select multiple files, I can't recover multiple files all at once. I have to click "recover" on each file.

    The only way I can recover multiple files at once is to close my application (e.g. Chrome or email program). Then, the "quick recovery" box opens & allows me so select which files I want to keep. Of course, this defeats the purpose of "immediate recovery".

    Is there a setting I'm missing or should I just go back to regular Sandboxie?

    Thank you in advance.

    I don't use "Immediate Recovery".
    With Plus UI -> "Recover Files" + shift select multiple files -> Recover.
    I can recover multiple files, all at once.
    With Classic UI -> "Quick Recovery" + shift select multiple files -> Recover.
    I can recover multiple files, all at once.

    Thank you again for your reply. Yes, I can use "quick recovery" & recover multiple files at the same time. However, I can't do it with "immediate recovery". That feature is important enough to me that I think I'll go back to Sandboxie classic.

    Thank you again! I appreciate your time & knowledge! I'm not sure how I can run Classic UI as a plus user, but I see from your link that I'm not the first to mention this. The link also seems to suggest that the "immediate recovery" feature that allows users to select & save multiple downloads may come in a future version, so I might wait awhile.

    Sandboxie Classic installer installs Classic components to Sandboxie folder.
    Sandboxie Plus installer installs Plus & Classic shared components to Sandboxie-Plus folder.

    Thank you again for all your information. I loaded both, but when I try to recover 2 files, the Sandboxie Plus dialog box opens & doesn't let me recover more than one file at a time; i.e. the behavior is the same.

    If I exit from Sandboxie Plus (& leave Sandboxie loaded), the first time I got an error message. However, leaving Plus unloaded & loading Sandboxie only, doesn't bring up the immediate recovery dialog box. Only the quick recovery dialog box comes up after I exit Thunderbird or whatever app I'm running sandboxed.

    I have SandMan & SbieCtrl pin'd to taskbar. I usually run Classic UI.
    I don't use "Immediate Recovery". Just me.
    I don't understand why I'd use "Immediate Recovery". Just me.
    That said...as test: downloads from CCleaner builds download page.
    Note: Desktop is my downloads location.
    Classic UI active with Enable Immediate Recovery active.

    You mean once you geta notification window at the botton where you need to click one by one, and in the other case you get a recovery window that allows you to recover multiple files, this is normal and there is a setting to always use the better full fatured recovery window.

    when you check this option i think it will behave as you want it to if i understood your problem right


    Alternatively the recover notificaiton has an option recover all when it will open this exact windo

    Thank you very much for your reply. I must have an older build that doesn't show that option. This is what I see:
