0 5 5 Release Notes This release focuses primarily on refinements to SandMan’s INI editor, shell notification handling, and several smaller reliability fixes. The SandMan INI editor has received a substantial auto-completion overhaul. Completion candidates are now ranked using context-aware semantic matching and fuzzy matching, while metadata is synchronized independently for each editor instance. Refreshes are also deferred during rapid typing or deletion to reduce unnecessary updates and improve responsiveness. The completion popup itself has also been refined. Candidate tooltips no longer retain stale information while editing, Template and TemplateReject entries now show only the relevant setting-name information, and large description tooltips have been adjusted to avoid jumping unnecessarily between sides or obscuring completion candidates. Shell notification handling has also been updated. UseShellNotifyIconProxy remains enabled by default when OpenWinClass=* is configured, preserving the behavior required by these sandboxes, while other sandboxed processes now use direct routing by default unless proxying is explicitly enabled. To make troubleshooting this behavior easier, low-noise SbieTrace logging has been added for Shell_NotifyIconW calls. The trace records the notification message, icon identity using either NIF_GUID/GUID or HWND/uID, and whether the effective route was direct or through the proxy. A problem with shortcuts created from SandMan’s File Panel has been fixed. Previously, the “Create Shortcut” action did not set a working directory, causing sandboxed applications to inherit SandMan’s current directory. Programs relying on relative paths could consequently fail to locate their data files. Shortcuts created through the File Panel now receive the appropriate working directory. This release additionally fixes an incorrect return type in SbieSvc and corrects archive path cleaning behavior. Sandboxie Plus 1.18.4 is primarily a maintenance and usability release, with the most visible improvements affecting INI editing and completion behavior while also tightening shell notification routing and addressing several smaller issues reported since the previous release.
