Naming sandbox

I have 8 sandboxes all working ok they are named
game1 game 2 game 3 and so on. This morning I managed to name 3 of them game 1 I then tried to change them to G1 and now it will only let me name 1 of them G1 and says "you already have a sand box named G1 and will not let me name the rest G1. ?
 
It should not have been possible to name them exactly the same. The user interface should have checked if names are already in use.
 
I can't remember how I did it but I can't do it now, but I have solved my problem, I have all 8 named from g1 to g8 as each one opens a website I have another program that I have told to look at page info after the G number and all works great.
 
I have crated 3 groups and put the 8 sandboxes in them, 3 in 2 of them and 2 in the last. when i right click game and click open in sandbox the sandbox opens showing the groups and their content. Is it possible when opened to make it just show the groups unopened, then i can just click the group i want to use. The reason for this is i s I keep the sandbox small on the screen and I need to close all the group tags to hide all the sandboxes and then open the one i want, then start it.
 
Right now, I don't see that this can be done. While Sandboxie-Plus (SandMan.exe) remembers collapsed groups, once they are uncollapsed, they stay that way. I think there should be options.
 
After playing 1 account I have to shut game and open in another sandbox that brings all groups up open again. i have tried looking but can only find group checkbox. even if I open 2 windows of the game i get the full list each time.
 
Another thing I would like to do is have the sandbox I last used be highlighted when I re open game to sandbox screen.
e.g. box 1 is default and highlighted I open box 3 and when I go to open game again to sandbox screen I want box 3 to be highlighted not default , is this possible. ... Last box opened is highlighted not default. would these be available if I purchase licence
 
Right now, there does not appear to be support for what you are looking. This is a user interface task, and should not be bound to a license, when it gets implemented.

The list of open issues is quite long, but someone else could contribute the changes, if David has no time for it.
 
hi Bastik can I assume #5052 and 5054 are requests for someone to add the things I need, if so thankyou very much for your help with my problems.

Yes, David may or may not read this thread and consider making changes, but if it's on the bug tracker, it is more likely that there will be a comment by him if it is technically difficult, or if he rejects an idea. It's far more likely that someone will contribute changes to the UI to get what you want, if it is listed on the bug tracker, as many won't read this thread. Those changes could be useful to others.
 
About highlighting the last used sandbox, can you explain again what you meant by it?

Does it only refer to the sandbox you started something in manually or the last something to started in by other means?
 
sorry I have been away for a week. having tested the sandbox as it is i find my biggest problem is the last one opened is not highlighted. I spend an hour or so on one and then close it and reopen the sandbox list to start the next. If the last one used could be highlighted it would help a lot as I keep loosing my place. the 2nd thing that would help is all the lists being closed when I open the exe via sandbox. please see added picture. I am running win 10 and the 1.164 ver of sandbox.

I updated the issue about highlighting the last used box.

Sandboxie-Plus 1.16.5 has been released 5 days ago, and it already includes changes to the user interface. These changes were rather quickly implemented, thanks to David.

Global Settings > Interface Config > [User Interface] contains "Group state on start" where one can select to remember the state, have all of them collapsed or all of them expanded.

The user interface also has an option to collapse and expand the groups. The icon toggles between collapsed and expanded.
 
Well the UI keeps the last item in the list selected even when its opened or closed again only if you click on an other item it will be changed, isnt that enough as a marking?
 
If I open sandbox exe the list works ok, If I right click game exe and choose start in sandbox all groups are open and still only the first on the list is highlighted.
