How avoid moving Fences and folder portals after connecting new monitor?

Fences layout problem

from Stardock Forums

Hello!

I have generally personalized Fences on 3 desktops (3 monitors) using three Fences pages.

I want to connect 4th monitor to extend workspace. Problem is that this monitor will be connected as leftmost, so all coordinates will adding 1920 pixels horizontally. And I think it will force Fences moving to next monitor.

Simply current top left corner has 0,0 pixels and after connection will have 1920,0 pixels coordinates. And even- this will affect also all desktop pages.

Is it possible to avoid? Even if not generally, where has Fences any config file(s) or registry entries where is possible to change appropriate values? No problem with anytihng - I'm coder.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you having issues. I do think you can create two snapshots, one for 3 Monitors and another one for 4 Monitors. 

Thanks

I found settings in registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences

And in directory C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Stardock\Fences\Backups

are files with real coordinates. But it is big amount of data and needs to discover it. Maybe can anybody help me to navigate better, or when I will have time I will search for exact rules - coordinates are identified, but big amount of data is 'cause I'm using three desktop pages on three displays - so, it will be not easy to find any rule how it is organized to be sure that it can be applied on whole file without touching others. Best safe method is to make two new snapshots and edit only one of them - in history is also default installation snapshot.
