Hello,
Sandboxie usability and maturity would benefit from some improvements, which I discovered doing an intense use of the product now that is free (multiple sandboxes etc).
Global Sandbox settings:
When you right click on a sandbox, there are some settings that you should be able to put as global for each new sandbox created so that you don't have to set them manually one by one.
Some that come up to my mind are then one about the aspect, i.e. don't show #, or show title of sanbox in title bar as when you have multiple things opened in different sandboxes it starts to get messed up pretty quickly and you have to just enable the settings manually for each sandbox
Internet restriction improvements:
As now, to block applications from accessing internet you can do 3 things: permit everything, block everything, select only the ones who can access, block the rest.
Beside the fact that for doing that, you have to do a gruesome back and forth between the various navigation menus everytime (years 90s style), and this could be fixed by adding a right click options in the list of the applications run in the sandbox (and eventyally by adding a "save application profile" to save all the configurations to that application, being able to reapply them when you instantiate another sandbox), but what if you want to allow everything and block only one? you can't.
Copy sandbox
I always found a big missing feature a "copy sandbox" feature with which, you get ready one sandbox with all you need on it and then you can copy it, mess it up, delete and you still have the original one, so one can make multiple copies of a clean, ready to use sandbox without having to set up it again everytime. It happens that I have to try different settings of softwares togheter and the sandbox gets messed up and I have to do it all over again.
The only workaround i found is manually copying the sandbox, (from C:\Sandbox) to another name (no spaces, charachters) then create a new sandbox with same name. But that doesn't work beautifully with software as libraries and more in deep setup happens sometime and the copied sandbox misses it and... game over, software won't start or it's not the same as the original sandbox
Menus more usable
For doing a lot of things, you have to dig menus for each sandbox, would be nice to have them on right click on sandbox or executing applications/folders (for example like i said before for internet access, file access etc etc etc) instead of opening/closing various menus for doing everytime something
These are some of the major tweaks that come up to my mind at the moment
Let me know what you think
if one day it will become open source, well, I'm a programmer, so who knows :)
