Sandbox settings to [GlobalSettings]

I was thinking in order to reduce repetitive lines on each sandbox, to move such lines to GlobalSettings.
This will reduce the number of lines in all my sandboxes when reading the ini file, I have a lot of them. Hence I got two main questions.

[Q1]
Do the following lines/settings have effect when moved to [GlobalSettings]?

Code:

ConfigLevel=9
AutoRecover=n
AutoDelete=y
ClosePrintSpooler=y
CopyLimitKb=-1
ClosedFilePath=X:
ClosedFilePath=D:\Desktop\SecureFolder
OpenFilePath=%Desktop%
BreakoutProcess=FirefoxPortable.exe
UseFileDeleteV2=y
UseRegDeleteV2=y

[Q2]
If so, how to reflect its global influence on every sandbox?
The settings is global but needs to be reflected (or not?) on every sandbox Options gui

I ask cause I tried these two in GlobalSettings

Code:

ClosedFilePath=D:\Desktop\SecureFolder
OpenFilePath=%Desktop%

and they actually work on every sandbox. However they are not reflected on every sandbox gui Options > Resources > Files tab

 

Q1: I don't think it will be a problem except Enabled setting.

Q2: Yes, some of the global settings are not reflected in the UI even though they work, some may recreated with changes in the box settings. Check "Show Templates" to see them in the resource tab.

 

I find the question of Mr.X very interesting .
Could the following box entries probably also be moved to the "Global Settings" so that they then apply to all boxes, or do some not work then ?
Many Thanks, Sabine

AllowBoxedJobs=y
AllowNetworkAccess=<BlockNetAccess>,n
AllowSpoolerPrintToFile=y
AutoDelete=y
BlockNetworkFiles=y
BoxNameTitle=y
ClosedFilePath=!<InternetAccess>,InternetAccessDevices
ClosedFilePath=<BlockNetDevices>,InternetAccessDevices
ClosedIpcPath=!<StartRunAccess>,*
ConfigLevel=9
DropAdminRights=y
NotifyStartRunAccessDenied=y
OpenSmartCard=n
Template=BlockPorts

 

Yes you're right, I tinkered with this one and it forcibly has to be set per sandbox.

Yes now I see the ones related to paths (File/Folder)

Code:

ClosedFilePath=X:
ClosedFilePath=D:\Desktop\SecureFolder
OpenFilePath=%Desktop%

The next nice part is if I need access on certain sandboxes to let say, to my SecureFolder on desktop, then I add a line to that sandbox ini

Code:

OpenFilePath=D:\Desktop\SecureFolder\

It works and gets reflected in the sandbox gui

Now if for any reason I need to rapidly revert and close such path without deleting the line, then I just untick the setting from the gui and get a line in the ini file

Code:

OpenFilePathDisabled=D:\Desktop\SecureFolder\

Great, I can toggle such setting without issues from the gui and not having to edit the ini file.

 

Pretty much everything can be moved to the global section,
I would not do that for Enabled=y though

But there is also a more convenient way of achieving a similar result, create a local template move the lines there and include that in every box, then you can edit the template using the UI

 

Thank you, and those edits/changes apply per sandbox?

 

if you edit the local template the changes will apply to all sandboxes which include that template

 

I'm having issues adding a custom template via GUI

I don't know.

Done. I think you're right so I deleted it on the other thread and you may do the same

 

Done. Thanks for the heads-up.

I wonder if your "Template=Mr.X" should be "Template_Local=Mr.X" and set up as a local template? Just a thought.

 

Yes, you should add Local_ to custom templates.

Code:

[Template_Mr.X] -> [Template_Local_Mr.X]

Template=Mr.X -> Template=Local_Mr.X

 

@soccerfan and @busy adding Local to the name did it. Thanks a lot! I wonder when it became mandatory or it always were like that.

 

It's been this way since at least v3.x (tzuk's days )
