I would like the ability to lock the fences and icons in the fences, so they can't get accidentally moved. Samsung android S10 has this feature for the home screen, and it's great!
This happened to all my fences when I ran the purge batch file. I can create new fences, but all the old ones have disappeared.
Ok, here's a screen capture. All of these used to be inside a roll up fence. Now the fence is gone, although the icons stay in one place, (which doesn't happen when Windows is in charge of icons.) So, where did all my fences go?
No, the settings are all normal. I created a new fence, and it acts the way I would expect. I can draw a new fence around the the icons on my desktop, but my color scheme has been reset, too.
Any idea how to get Fences to work properly? Icons are still arranged in the groups I made, but no fences are visible.
ver 1903 build 18362.1016 what crashed was Windows Explorer. Initial failure was that double-clicking on icons did nothing. After 15 seconds, the icon would select, but the shortcut never did execute. Had to reboot to gain normal function. Decided to reinstall Fences, which did reinstall, and my Fences were intact, but initial issue in this posting, 1x7 Fence that got changed to 2x4, and no way to change it to 1x7, was still present. Decided then to try the purge, as suggest
Well, I ran the purge batch file, and it crashed the computer and now all my fences are gone. I've reinstalled fences twice, too. I've wasted 2 hours with this crap, and I'm not very happy about it. Now what?
I can do that!
One final question - I have Fences installed on my desktop and 3 laptops, and 4 license keys. How do I tell what license is on this computer for reinstallation?
I am running 3.0.9.11 currently. Will the purge retain my Fences settings, or will I have to create them all over again?
No, that did not work. The image in the daily snapshot is correct (1x7), but the fence is restored to 2 columns, even if I delete it and restore it.
I created a vertical fence with 7 icons in it, one icon wide. Worked fine for over a year. Today, only 4 icons are showing in the vertical fence. If I widen the fence to 2 columns, all my icons are there. Fences won't allow me to move them to one column! I can widen the fence so they are all in a line, but when I narrow the fence again, I can't get more that 4 icons stacked vertically. I tried rebooting the computer; made no difference. Why did it change, and how can I get my 1x7
