Close button minimizes Sandboxie instead of terminating it

[Mitch037]

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?

Currently, by default, if you click close button [X] then Sandboxie gets minimized to the System Tray.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to terminate the application by clicking close button [X].

And now, how do I close the sandbox interface without turning it off? Imagine an action with a browser: let's say you need to transfer a file to a real system. Do you open the interface, transfer the file, click the cross, and the sandbox shuts down in system?
In this case, you will lose your entire workflow and possibly data. If I understood this innovation correctly, then it is very harmful. Especially for such cases, there is a menu with an exit section. Make at least a shutdown request.

you can choose in the settings which behavior you want:

also when the UI is not running there is no box auto clean up this requires the UI component.

Thank you. How is it implemented in classic?

[DavidXanatos]

not at all, classic is not being actively developed we just drag it along and if we break something fix it.

[KT907]

Understood. So far there are no more questions. Thank you.

I would like to suggest an improvement to this feature. I believe there should only be two options: "Close" and "Close to Tray". However, "Close" should be considered as "Prompt to Close" in mind. The prompt should be displayed if there is any active process in any of the boxes. Currently, if there is any active process in any of the boxes, and the "Close" option is selected, Sandboxie is being abruptly closed alongside the process. It is not safe. In such case a prompt should be displayed informing user about active process(es) and that closure could result in data loss. User should be given a choice: close all the process(es) and Sandboxie, or cancel.
If there are no processes in any of the boxes then Sandboxie should be closed without a prompt. Alternatively, the prompt could be displayed but it could also be allowed to be hidden by user like one of those messages related to installing/uninstalling Sandboxie service on each run/close (in portable mode).

So, there are two different cases here to keep in mind:

1. There is an active process -> Close Sandboxie -> Display a prompt (terminate process & close OR cancel) - this prompt cannot be hidden by user
2. There is no active process -> Close Sandboxie -> Display a prompt by default - this prompt can be hidden by user
