The two facts you cite have little to do with their merit. Price and the fact that no one else has raised this. But you accept I trust that your "alternative" was no solution, and to blind ourselves because of the above is an obstacle to improvement. What would be good as you are a cvommunity helper is to raise it with the developer to find out why it may not be possible to make Stardock what it deserves to be. I rest my case. Brian

Information for DR JBHL Well, I guess you may have finally understood. Please confirm: I repeat my suggestion for substantial improvement. 1) If you have a number of different fences and you wish to create documents in e.g. excel or word, it is not possible to select the destination target and navigate to the fence folders through the save as dialogue process. You can have all docs from a given application going to ONE specific fence through using a rule based

OK the mystery is solved, I believe. You are assuming setting up a rule whereby all documents of type x go to a specific fence. However, consider if Fences are used to orgnise data for projects so that some excel sheets should in accordance with your fence structure should go to Fence1, and others to Fence2, and similarly for Word documents, you could not achieve this with type rules, nor can you define subfolders. Other users have also stated quite categorically, one

Disagree completely. I think you're missing the point. I am referring to SAVING in a target FENCE From an application you cannot save directly to a web portal visible on the desktop. Because they are not visible. Instead you have to save to where you have the orignal data that is the source of the web portal. It definitely is not IMHO redundant. It saves time, and if you are an efficienc

Don't you think Fences (already very good) would be very substantially improved if a Fence could be designated as the target? I have also tried to see if source data on an external USB , but visible on my desktop (Fence portal) could be designated as a target. But sad to say it does not show up when navigating through the save as dialogue box. Of course I could save direct to the USB disk directly, which is the souurce for a Web Portal located on my desktop. That is a possibi

Sorry if not clear. And thanks for responding. Normally, I don't open an application in the folder where I wish to save my new document. It's usually from the start menu, and if I click save it goes to the deesktop and into the fence I have designated as the fence where all new documents should go ( this was my work around) because I can't save to a specific fence as they do not appear as possible target destinations when in the save as dialogue. I don't know why this

In the beginning I was over the moon with fences, computer had crashed and I needed to reorganise a lot of data. Here fences was superb. But now I need to produce stuff from within applications, but I haven't found any way to save to a specific fence since none of them appear in the save as dialogue boxes. For me this means fences is a great tool for statically organising data periodically but not when dynamically producing stuff. I would like to be able to determine when I

The problem seems to be there are no folders with recognisable names corresponding to the fences I have set up. I get a message do I want to replace a file in an unamed fence.But I have no idea which fence the file is in. For security reasons and avoidance of data loss I'd like to know where the contents of fences are stored. What happens to a fence's contents if you delete a fence. Does it just disappear? I think I understand that the same
