Problem with isolation mode
Permalink   
 

I installed pre-packaged VLC from the Camey library - Note this is not a problem with VLC - and it ran fine. It played my music and downloaded podcasts, exactly as I hoped.

I then tried to save a podcast to my hard disk. It appeared in VLC to save, (and I got file already exists when I tried to save again) but I could not find the downloaded file with Windows Explorer. I took a look with the package editor and found that files can only be saved to My Documents, Desktop  and external drives. OK I like that - good security. I tried saving my podcast to a directory under My Documents and all was fine. BUT note, I thought I had saved a file and it was not saved! Some error message needs to appear.

I then tried to change the isolation mode. After all, I tend to save files in other places. Now the new (my version packaged with isolation mode set to full access) VLC refuses to download podcasts: Error your input can't be opened!

Similar problems occur with other packaged programs such as 7Zip - you think the file is saved but when checking with Windows explorer, it is not there.

Is there another setting that needs to be made in isolation mode = full acess to access networked files?

Hello RickCamLad,

Did you look for your saved files in the VOS directory?  The default location is %AppData%.

Hi,

OK thanks. To confirm; files that you attempt to save outside My Documents/Desktop and External drives are stored in the VOS directory. Yes, I have found them. Of course, that is not what I wanted, but knowing is good! So the take-home message is that one should only use the special directories when using Cameyo apps.

Is there any information regarding the error when attempting to download a podcast using VLC after changing isolation mode to full access? I have other apps that behave odly when I change the isolation mode to full (e.g. my packaged version of GoodSync).

Kind regards, Richard.

Did you try downloading VLC with Full access from the Library?  If not, I'd give that a go to see if it downloads your podcast for you in the location you want.  It worked for me when I tried it with 7-zip....
