Description

What happened?

Thanks for your great work.

I'm trying to track down why the 1password chrome extension is often not working when sandboxied (using plus 1.0.22) (the extension often hangs when it should prompt for the master password).

While looking for the current state of the art on tracing resource use, I got nowhere and found the broken link below.

I see Options/Trace Logging command but can't figure out if it is doing anything. When I choose that menu option I get no indication it is active, no window with trace events etc.

https://sandboxie-plus.com/sandboxie/sandboxietrace/

has a broken link to https://sandboxie-plus.com/sandboxie/sandboxietrace/ResourceAccessMonitor.html

looks like the link should point to

https://sandboxie-plus.com/sandboxie/resourceaccessmonitor/

Research direction
The issue identifies two concrete tasks: 1) Fix the broken link to 'ResourceAccessMonitor.html' – locate the file containing the link (likely in the docs folder) and update the URL to the correct path. 2) Improve the Trace Log documentation – the current doc at https://sandboxie plus.github.io/sandboxie docs/Content/TraceLog.html is unclear; review it and add clear instructions on how to enable tracing and interpret logs. Check the repository's documentation structure and any existing guides. The issue comments may provide additional context.
