Simplewall: programs that are located on mounted/removable drives -still- don't get recognized after unmount/mount

Created on 3 Jan 2019  ·  2Comments  ·  Source: henrypp/simplewall

Sorry to re-re-open this issue again, but it is still not fixed and very annoying in everydays simplewall usage. I'm still eager but patiently waiting for a fix even after a year. the handling of programs affected by this issue is very cumbersome each day and hard to get used to.

this is still replicable, see:

what's going on with this issue?
can't be fixed? don't want to be fixed? no solution found on how to fix this issue? low priority?

now tested with softperfect ram disk
you should have ram disk created and enabled
now copy program in it save ramdisk
run program allow it now it has internet access
unmount ram disk (red highlight)
mount ramdisk (convert to green highlight)
run program it ask for internet access(so here again ask it,in usb wont ask but has access internet)
i wont allow access but restart simplewall
now it has internet access again

A fix seems to be in the works, judging from the updated language files.
