Primary monitor not honored for new files

from Stardock Forums

Win 10 (1511), docked Surface Pro 4, two additional monitors.

Primary monitor set to one of the external monitors.

All files saved to the desktop in any application are moved by Fences to monitor 1 -- the Surface monitor -- instead of being left on the primary monitor (they briefly flash on the primary monitor but then are moved to monitor 1). Only disabling Fences changes this; no settings changes in Fences change this either.

Am I missing something or is this just a functionality oversight?

Are the files going to a specific fence or just the desktop?

An easy work around is to create a fence on the primary and set a rule in Fences to send all new icons to that fence.

To the desktop. I don't want a fence though. I want them on my desktop on my primary monitor just like when Fences isn't running. Why is Fences moving them to monitor 1 at all instead of leaving them on the primary monitor?

What version of Fences are you using?

I'm having the same issue as well, it would be great to have an option to select which desktop new icons go to!  :thumbsup:

Oh and a minor thing, when I resize a fence I see the tiny box with the size on another display.
