Request for added features - Fences 4

I like Fences - Use it on my main pc and also a laptop.

On the main pc I have two or three monitors active or powered on, depending on what I am doing.

I'd really like the following actions/features added to Fences 4.

1 When a shortcut or a file is added by windows or a program, Fences should never allow it to hide it under a Fences group, rather should shift it away.

2, Multiple Monitors. I have two/three depending on the work/hobby I'm on today.

But even now with version 4, Fences cannot decide which monitor is the Main one.  Sometimes the Fences groups are on the left, secondary monitor, sometimes on the main one.

But its pot luck which one the groups land on. If its the wrong one, due to screen resolution the groups are not spaced out correctly and I lose icons. Moving them all back to the main screen, I have to resize All of the fences groups.

Even if I resort to restoring a snapshot, it never seems to work. And yes I have uninstalled, run the wipe bat file Stardock recommend using but I still have problems.

Please could we have a PC or Laptop setting so the program knows it may be working with multiple monitors?

Also surely someone else on here uses a laptop connected to a big screen to work on, how does that work for you, different resolutions again.

If you agree, please add to this request and hopefully it may be implemented

Hello,

We really do appreciate your feedback, thanks.

Update - Realised that I was missing something, it's possible to "fix" the windows using the right mouse click and choosing to "Lock"  Fences. It seems to be working correctly now, so it was my fault fences were getting moved. 

 

The other comments are still relevant though.
