I'd like to see them spend time on fixing bugs that have been reported before attempting to add yet more features. I can't even recommend the software to clients of mine due to the impact of certain known issues.
I'd like to put out a formal request for a changelog page (or pages) for the Fences product. Trying to decide whether or not to recommend the software to clients and I have some unresolved bugs still lurking (I think) in the software. I spent enough time reporting them as it was and don't care to lose more time re-testing for them. Posting a changelog for all to see is a much more efficient use of everyone's time. Hence my request for it. Thank you.

Reduced 75%Original 800 x 133[/quote] So you're suggesting we install yet another piece of software to help keep stardock stuff upgraded, when most other developers build that functionality right into each package? This is why I tend to avoid devs with that mindset. It eventually turns
[quote who="hexfield" reply="10" id="3288135"]jjbjolicoeur, just curious, do you by chance have any shortcuts on your desktop to network shared folders? I noticed that I started getting more explorer lockups when I tried to move a network folder. At the time I wasn't signed into my company's VPN so those folders wouldn't be accessible (though I wasn't trying to open them). I signed into VPN and it seemed like the problems went away. Now I've deleted those shortcuts and am
Found a bug in Fences 2.0 around 70 days ago and reported it in the Fences 2.0 Beta topic. Finally got it recognized as an actual bug and was told to submit an official ticket on it. I did so and ran the supplied system analyzer tool, sending in bug info and system info the same day. I believe it has now fallen into the pit of "maybe we'll get to it if we ever get time" from support's perspective. Does Stardock keep a bugtracker for products like Fences?&nb
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="69" id="3257422"] Quoting Jaga Telesin, reply 67 Note: this problem persists in Fences 2.0. Icons that are continually re-created are eventually (and seemingly randomly) deleted from their assigned fence. On one occasion they were moved to the default fence for new icons. All other times they have been forcibly removed (an actual delete of a file by Fences 2.0). It worries me that Fences would be removing icons permanently from
[quote who="Jaga Telesin" reply="49" id="3238637"] Quoting Zubaz, reply 48This is really intended behaviour: If a shortcut doesn't exist, don't show it. Try loading the last snapshot after you mount the drive. That should restore the shortcuts. Drive mounted, shortcuts created and fenced. Snapshot taken, drive dismounted, right-click desktop and Refresh - shortcuts disappear from fence. Re-mounted drive, restored snapshot, shortcuts remain

Thanks, I'll go post there. I noticed other BETA problem topics in this forum, hence why I originally posted here.
Wanted to report a bug with v2.00 Beta 1 that I've encountered. I use TrueCrypt with a sensitive data drive. The volume/drive never auto-mounts, I do that manually after Windows login. If I create a shortcut to a file/folder on that drive and stick it in a fence, the shortcut will disappear randomly after rebooting x number of times. It happened to my two primary folder shortcuts on the drive, who's fence still exists (and is currently empty). No idea
