SandMan Hover on sandbox doesn't load sub-menu

Post by hmp3 »

When I hover on a sandbox in Plus's Sandman.exe system tray menu, it doesn't load a sub-menu, I have to right-click on it to load sub-menu options (delete contents, load browser, etc)
How do I restore classic Sandboxie Control functionality, so I can simply hover over a sandbox for sub-menu?

This mechanism is not available in the plus UI, for now there is no way around the second cklick

Okay Thanks.
I also other issues.
There are 3 separator lines underneath my list of sandboxes on the menu that appears when I right-click to launch a file with sandboxie plus.
It's a real nuisance and also DefaultBox keeps re-creating itself no matter how many times I delete it.
How can I resolve these issues?

The lines i don't understand, make a screen shot and point to what you mean
the default box is mandatory and you need one, its recreating itself on purpose

I can't see it any more as the sub-menu showing the 3 lines was with the old sbie menu, now the plus one loads with 3 empty lines underneath the final one
e.g.

"Sbox1
Sbox2
Sbox3
Sbox4
Sbox5
Sbox6
DefaultBox



"
Notice how the end quotation mark shows after 3 lines.

Btw, can I hide the DefaultBox?

To my understanding this is an issue with the SbieCtrl.exe which is only in legacy support, i..e no new features and no non critical bugfixes.
I would recommend you to use the new SandMan.exe UI from the plus build.

I would, but then I'd have to right-click on the system tray menu to see it's functions.

Well, why can't hover be restored?
