Release v1.1.0 / 5.56.0 (pre-release)

[DavidXanatos]

This is an experimental release it changes how sandboxie marks deleted host files as deleted, instead of creating dummy entries it uses an internal data structure to keep the stat of changes to the host file system. With the new mechanics it is possible to rename folders and keys properly.
This new behavior needs to be enabled by specifying UseFileDeleteV2=y sand UseRegDeleteV2=y in later builds this will be enabled by default, hence please test this pre release build and report back if there are any issues.

This build also adds a new UI functionality, sandman.exe now monitors the size of sandboxes and reports it in the info column, this functionality needs to be enabled in the global settings.

Last but not least this build reduces the cpu usage of sandman.exe a lot.

If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.

You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a situation where a client is using a dashboard for his business, he is trying to get information let's say from 5/1 to 5/20
The dashboard compiles the info and then he clicks on export, but before Sandboxie can recover it, A Microsoft office window opens and sits there hung try to open windows to display the info.
Now if I run Chrome and the dashboard outside Sandboxie everything works ok, Is there a setting that is not set to help fix this problem
Thanks for the help
Bill

Is this issue present only in build 1.1.0 or also in prior builds?

[BilleBarrett]

I do not think this has anything to do with the new update
The dashboard is exporting a file Export_Client.xls for some reason Office 2019 starts to open and hangs there
It may be connected to Click_to_start program, I do not know
Bill
PS. I was able to download excel files from my PayPal Account as well as OneDrive
There must be something different that this online dashboard is doing, I'm going to try and see what it is doig
