Was there some serious optimization done also? Sandboxie was always nicely responsive but now it's instant, at least running Classic. Like lightning.

 

Thanks a lot for the quick update. It even seems to fix the newly described problems with recent Opera browser reported only 2 days ago!

Therefore I really really don't want to sound impudent or ungrateful - but for the near future - may I still remind you of your own excellent proposal to implement checkboxes into the Sandbox-options-section about forced programs and folders.

Just now with the recently introduced problems by latest Opera I had to change between forced/or-not Opera-installation-folders for test-purposes back and forth and it would indeed have made things a lot easier if I had not been compelled to delete these folders from the forced-list entirely first and then having to re-declare them from scratch again for the next round of testing.

 

Thank you very much for the update.

The "SBIE2101" problem no longer occurs with this version.

 

Do you mean that Plus is now just as fast as Sandboxie Classic? I haven't tried Sandboxie Plus for a while because it was quite buggy when it came to the GUI, it freezed sometimes.

 

It reads to me as if he means that classic is now even faster than it was before.

btw: what was the name of that two anti keyloggers you want to work in sbie so urgently? can you provide download links for booth please


With regard the the Plus UI you should try it again, its much more mature in the recent builds.


EDIT: I have tried out GhostPress in my VM and it seams to work fine, i can open a sandboxed firefox and type and ghost press says firefox.exe so seams fine, please test this softare again if it works for you also

EDIT2: SpyShelter seams to work in notepad but fail in firefox providing randum mumbers instead of letters is that the bug you are having

 

Yes, that's exactly what SHE means. Thanks for clarifying.

 

in the next build the plus installer will autostart sandman.exe and the classic installer will also show a licence when updating

 

I will check it out, but can you perhaps also remove the focus rectangle (dotted lines) in the SBIE Plus GUI, it's always visible, not only when you select a sandbox like in Sandboxie Classic. Call me crazy, but I can't stand it.

About SpyShelter and GhostPress, you should run a browser sandboxed and then you should run the two keylogger simulators, see links. You will see that both SpyShelter and GhostPress will fail to block these simulators from recording keystrokes. But they will block it correctly when the browser is NOT running sandboxed.

Funny that certain people still not know that you're female, perhaps we should get a gender sign on this forum like back on the days on social media, I believe MySpace had this LOL. And Sandboxie Classic has always been fast for me.

 

Or we can start using inclusive language from now on
Nah I could never utilize such aberration

 

Unfortunately I'v been premature in reporting that the latest upgrade to Sanboxie_Plus v.0.9.8 would already fix the newly discovered problems wit advanced Opera_developer-browser v.82. In fact it does NOT! Currently I have no idea how I could have gotten this wrong initially?!

Fact is that current production-version of Opera v.80 is the last one that will run sandboxed with HW-acceleration=ON. All advanced developer-versions of Opera from then on up to latest v.82 will only lauch with HW-acceleration set to OFF! Otherwise only an empty white screen will open up which after a few seconds will carry a message in the title-bar saying "Opera # (no response)".

Even if I've been wrong in initially reporting that Sanboxie_Plus v.0.9.8 would fix this I'd like to emphasize once more that this is not Sandboxies fault as these problems have clearly been introduced by latest/future changes made by Opera-developers.

For a work generously and continually in progress it can't help but IMPROVE! Thanks @DavidXanatos

 

So far all good on the gaming front 0.9.8b, spot testing of the key troublemakers. No issues

 

@stapp
and after a reboot there is only one instance of sandman and it stays one? strange that the single process instance code would wail in that way, but I'll investigate that

 

can you reproduce this be installign again? on my test Vm updating did not cause this issue.

 

ah damn it i think i know thats the issue, the sandman started by the installer runs as admin and the one started by the right click menu does not, hence thay cant communicate.
will have to look into the installer how to fix that

 

You can just terminate all sandmans and start a new one instead of a full reboot,
I already found a fix how to make the installer start the sandman as non elevated user so the issue will be solved in next build

 

Sbie Classic 5.53.1 user here with FF 93.0 and Brave browser. Win 10 pro (21H1) 19043.1288

Spoiler: Errors

 

as test: Classic UI 5.53.1 - enabled Immediate Recovery -> reproduced error
