Are you still running the same OS you were 3 years ago?

I am...and Fences 3 is running here without issue.

More view options for fenced icons, eg. list view.

Improved touch screen support. eg improved scrolling

Just downloaded the Alpha - new software always makes my computer feel fresh. 

Please could you add the ability to set parent folder settings, such as view in portals, with the windows then applying them universally to the subfolders. I've used the Windows options settings to try and adjust this but it never seems to apply to Fences. Hoping for this update in F4  

Thanks - 

I just downloaded the beta 1 version and can see this has been a busy thread and I apologize if I am requesting something that has already been asked for.

I do like the roll up feature of fences, however, to make the workflow easier it would be nice if the rollout tab could be smaller. About the size of a tab in a taskbar, but still allow the fence to be larger and take up as much of the screen as desired.

This way I could have several tab rollouts laid across the top or bottom of the screen straight across. But when the tab opens it could take up the whole screen if I needed it to, or I could move the mouse to the next tab sitting right next to it and open that one instead. 

This would help my work flow as it is easier to go across then it is from top to bottom.

So far, a good product.

I've just installed the trial version of Fences 4.  The first thing I tried was to place an icon anywhere within the Fence.  It moved itself back to the others!  Where is v4 different to v3?  I will not be upgrading!

Where to find a straight comparison between Fences 3 and Fences 4 ?

Thank you.

If you check out the already-released Alpha of Fences 4 you'll find the z-order issue has been overcome...

As others have said, better support for multiple monitors(i.e. Fences pages move/change independently on different monitors), and same for virtual desktops. It would also be nice if two issues that I have had for years now, across numerous computers and multiple versions of Windows, and multiple versions of Fences.

1. I routinely get a situation where new desktop icons(which are automatically sorted into a default Fence) can not be dragged into another Fence. There refuse to go and are essentially locked where they are. I have to drag and drop them onto the actual desktop(meaning outside of the Fences system) and only THEN can they then be grabbed again and dragged into a Fence.

2. On nearly every reboot of the computer, all of my Fences will resize themselves so they are all overlapping eachother and the icons are half hidden, and they're just generally all screwed. I either have to restore the most recent snapshot, or otherwise manually resize everything, and it's absolutely infuriating.

Hide Shortcut Icons in Folders

I have 2 suggestions, a fences option for vertical Alignment and a fences option to temporarily redirect downloaded files to another location. I work on a lot of projects and manually creating redirects for files is kinda tedious. If I had a "timed fence" option  or icon where I could click a timer and then move downloaded files to a specified location temporarily that would save me a ton of time for the organization on specific projects

Over the last year, Fences went from sort of interesting to "can't live without it" for me.

I'm an independent business owner and I have many hats.  I use Fences to organize a desktop for everything I'm doing.

• basic email
• product development
• video production
• photo editing

I have two features that I really, really want.  I want these because "alt-left" and "alt-right" or using the mouse to swipe through many Desktop Pages is painful.  I currently have 11 Desktop Pages.  Switching could involve 10 swipes or "alt-left/right"s.

1. Ability to tie a hot-key to a Desktop Page. 

I use "Win-Tab" to move across Windows 10 virtual desktops all the time.  I'd prefer a similar ability to change Fences Desktop pages.

There are two possibilities.

1.a Use a similar UI to windows 10 "Win-Tab". 

1.b  Allow a Fences Desktop page to be tied to a specific hotkey.  Like Win-1 corresponds to "basic editing".

Both would be great.  I think a Win-Tab would be easier to learn and remember.  I think the direct hot key link would be faster for the kind of work I do.

2.  Ability to tie or lock a Desktop Page to a Win-10 Virtual Desktop.  Or an option for the Fences Desktop page to be "per" Virtual Desktop. 

This would let me switch Desktop Pages and Virtual Desktops in the same key stroke.  In many ways, this is better than option #1.

Anyways.  Even if I don't get these, Fences is in my top 5 tools on Windows.  Love it. 

This may well have already been suggested but I would like Fences to scroll from the side of the screen and not just from the top or bottom.

I would love to see in fence portal roll up navigation - have the name of the fence align on the left or the right.  When navigating within a fence portal, the name of each nested folder is different so the arrow navigation moves.  It would be really handy if the name (or the navigation arrow) was on one side or the other so to back out of a few nested folders just click click click instead of having to move the mouse each time because the name is a different size moving the arrow.
