How is it so hard to find anything in this software? #4263

Describe what you noticed and did

So today I created a new box and it said "The new sandbox has been created using the new Virtualization Scheme Version 2, if you experience any unexpected issue with this box please switch to V1." then it proceeded to hide all my existing sandboxies, how do I get my old boxes back and and where is the box structure group setting its on about cause it certainly isn't in any menu I can see.

I had a list with 8 sandboxies inside. Decided I need one more, created one and my list of 8 disappeared and was replaced with the 1 box I just created. Those old sandboxies are still running on my system but are impossible to see in the interface. I cannot find a fix.

I just spend hours googling stuff just to try and use this software every single time and still get no where.

How often did you encounter it so far?

Everytime

Working normally with easy to find settings especially ones you're telling me to find cause you've fucked my existing layout

This is just wasting so much of my time now, I literally have sandboxes running that aren't even visible in the interface, I just want to switch the view back why would you program it to do that and why isn't it possible to switch back?

If you had spent a few more seconds to fill out which type of Sandboxie (Classic or Plus) you are using and which version, it would be easier to tell what might be wrong.

Have you tried to restart the user-interface?

Regardless of the type of box, or what scheme it uses, all sandboxes should be visible at all times, unless they are filtered.

Or, unless [Sandbox] section name was renamed or deleted from Sandboxie.ini while respective Sandbox is active. Or, unless they're resident in separate Sessions (Fast User Switching ?) - no matter whether or not they share the same box or user name, or FileRootPath; well, only same path would error. ;-)
