Features questions about sandboxie

[DavidXanatos]

1. zipping would be possible but IMHO the overhead would be to large.

2. some thign like this is on my todo, it would behave liek sandboxie behaves towards the system, when you create a snapshot you get a new root dir and all new changes go there and from the apps view point overwrite the old data.
   The sandboxed registry would however be copied enteirly

3. Not really just in that sense as the ap would see a virtual mac but it would not be a functional device, the traffic would go through its regular route through the real device.

Thanks for your reply!

What if it's only used for portability? i.e., copy a sandbox from one computer to another. The use case is for example to share a development environment with all the required dependecies

Aha! I didn't know that, that's really interesting, great to know!

I understand. I will look for options on how to do something like that, it can be really useful for some cases.

Cheers!!

What use case exactly do you have in mind?

Initially, just to experiment, but I was thinking about port forwarding rules to, for example, host isolated API endpoints in separate sandboxes. Maybe I'm mixing it too much with containers, but TBH, containers in Windows are not extremelly efficient hehe.
