Disappearing icons from network share

Version 1.01.143

Hi guys,

Been enjoying Fences for couple of months, but I have a problem that's getting a bit annoying.  I have some programs that I run from a server on the network.  Once in a while this server goes off line and it seems that sometimes Fences just remove the icons from my desktop (created inside Fences)  I guess I could take a snapshot of the desktop with the icons and restore it when they disappear, but it would be even better if Fences didn't remove them in the first place, or at least asked me if I wanted to remove them.  Any ideas or tips to solve this?  

Best regards,

Arnor Baldvinsson

Fences checks at run-time if the icons are there.   If the network is slow to connect to the network share there may be issues with it not showign up.  I'll pass this along to the devs.

Snapshots may be your best option for now.

Maybe an option to have an indicator that an icon/shortcut is no longer 'valid'.
