Will Sandboxie Classic stay?

Peter 123 · Jun 7, 2022

As there are various disputes about Sandboxie Classic vs. Sandboxie Plus I would suggest to discuss them in an own thread (e.g. this here).

And I would like to clarify the situation about the question if Sandboxie Classic will stay or will be abandoned. To my mind it will stay, referring to David's following comment from October 11th 2020:

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thr...rsion-5-33-6-only.428156/page-22#post-2955629 (the bold letters by David himself) :

I will continue providing the classical version forever if Tom doesn't return, it is really no afford doing that.
When Tom announced to continue the classical version I just thought no need in providing essentially the same files twice so I said I'll make the Plus only.
But now I'll make booth, no problems there.

I am aware that this was almost two years back and of course David is free to change his mind whenever he wants. But I have no information that this had happened in the meantime.

A recent post by David (from yesterday) rather seems to confirm his statement from 2020:

DavidXanatos said: ↑

I really don't see there being much use for the classic UI. The reason its still there is that its 0 afford to keep it, but its not being developed at all, I only fix minor things I may break when changing the core components to add new plus functionality.

So to my mind it seems that the situation for the moment is clear: David prefers and recommends the use of Sandboxie Plus, but users of Sandboxie Classic need not worry that they will loose their favourite build in the near future.

And with this background I think it is not only impolite towards David but also unnecessary to post statements like the following (there are several of this type and I won't disclose the names of posters):

I will tell you that I wouldn't be using SBIE anymore if there was no Classic version

As all of the comments about this have already been posted in the Roadmap thread

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sandboxie-roadmap.445545/

there doesn't seem to be any point in duplicating them in yet another Sbie thread.

Lets just continue in the Roadmap one where David, you and others are already discussing this subject as part of the roadmap subject.
