[Question]SW Does not remember deleted applications #1756

I wrote about this about a year ago, and I probably found the reason. In points - I have a ramdisk - every day when I start the computer, I copy and unpack Firefox and Telegram to this ramdisk. This means that when you start your computer, the Firefox and Telegram exe files are not in their locations. And here comes the problem - some versions of simplewall remember that the executable file was in the location with z:\firefiox\firefox.exe and after unpacking the file, they allow it to be accessed on the Internet, and some versions of simplewall do not remember this location and treat the unpacked folder as a new one. the last working version that does not cause problems is 3.7, the previous one is 3.61, all other earlier and later versions ask about adding the file to the Internet every time they start the computer - as if they did not remember it.that such a file was already running in this location.maybe you have an idea how to make Simplewall remember the program that was running and when it is deleted every day at system shutdown? Maybe it's some kind of bug? I'd be grateful for any advice.For now I have to use version 3.7

App version: <3.8> Windows version: <w11 23h2>
