Portal always opens in Explorer..

does not Navigate within Folder Portal Fence..

This just started happening today. I have Folder Portals on my desktop. A double-click on a subfolder icon would open that folder in the current fence, but it doesn't work anymore. It always opens a Windows Explorer window to the subfolder. I have turned off 'Allow Navigation' for the Fences and turned it back on and it doesn't make any difference.

However, if I right-click on the subfolder icon, and select 'Open', it opens the subfolder within the current Fence just fine!!?? As it should..

I have rebooted several times, and uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and it still does the same thing.

I have Fences v3.1.3.3 from Steam. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Try restoring from a Snapshot and see if that works .

Thanks, I did restore several backups even back into December, but it made no difference.

Right click on the fence and check "Allow navigation". The screenshot is from Fences 4, but I think it's the same in Fences 3. If that is not the case, you should try to reinstall Fences.

Thanks for the reply Jan. I have already done both of your suggestions and they did not help. But I got it fixed today when I booted up..

I have Directory Opus 11 and I've read that it can cause this issue. I went through all of it's Folder settings and tried changing some things, but nothing helped. So I decided to disable DOpus from starting with Windows so I could see if it actually was the culprit. Today when I booted up I forgot that I had done that, and I clicked on DOpus before I tested it. But it's working again.. I can navigate within a Fence as normal now, even with DOpus running. It's only been an hour or so, but I'm hoping it's fixed.

Glad it seems solved. Fingers crossed then!
