List all Fences and contents

I have several dozen Stardock fences on my desktop and many of them have a dozen or more links, files, etc.

I just moved to a new computer and ZInstall did not populate my fences. And I'm still working on putting the items that were all over the desktop into their correct fences.

What would help greatly in this is if I can, from my old computer, click a button in the Fences Configuration that will automatically populate a .csv file (database) with 2 fields. (Field 1) The title of the fence and (Field 2) the filename with extension of all the contents of that fence - 1 row (record) for each item which of course includes the title of the fence in Field 1 and the filename of the item in Field 2.

And with this csv file, a user could use and third field to use as a check to see which items were moved. This would work in accordance with the same for all the fences on the new computer. Whether one needs to fix the file locations into the correct fences or work with this feature from the start. One would know where each item is by looking (or searching / or sorting by either Field).

This would be an amazing help and would make StarDock Fences truly a plus for desktop management.

NOTE: There could also be an option as to database export format (i.e, .csv, .db, .accdb, .mdb, .mdf, sqlsrv, JSON, XML, YAML) also to perhaps include the option to paste into an editor (which would not be as practical - expect for those that need it only for reference.)

Thank you for expediting this requested feature.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am not familiar with Zinstall. But, have you tried using the the saved layouts. If it were all transfered to the new computer and all your files and folder from your old drive copied over to the same physical location on the new computer. Restore layout should still work.
