    In the classic you used to be able to specify the largest size of a file that you could migrate before you got that error.

    I assume the plus is the same, check the setting for the file size and increase it.

    I think there is also an option to not show the error, there is in the classic UI.

    This message is there to indicate that a large file is being copied into the sandbox as so that the user does not wonder why the sandboxed program may not be responsive.

    perhaps i should add an explitic setting to disable this information

    Could disabling the warning be problematic, as if the limit prevented a program from running how would we know?

    There are separate messages indicating irregular behavioure on file migration.
    the message here in question is only a progress report on the regular copy procedure.

    Are the following commands still valid in sandboxie.ini?
    (1) "CopyLimitKB=-1" (to override migration size limits)
    (2) "CopyLimitSilent= yes" (to suppress messages)

    Thank you :thumb:
    In general, is it even worth increasing CopyLimitKB (from default) for a browser
    especially if one does not intend to save changes upon closing the browser?

    That's fine. But does this make any difference to use the "Ignore" option for the specific message?
