Windows 10 x64; Fences 6.4.6 (current as of today) Recently I've been unable to rename / move items such as a shortcut that is within an unrolled fence, if there is an existing unfenced desktop item "behind" it. My rename or move operation instead works on the hidden desktop item, not on the fenced item. The only workaround is to drag that desktop item somewhere else (it usually ends up inside the fence) then re-try on the fenced item. Then drag the desktop item back

That guide simply points out the "Snapshot" function! I know about that. My problem is that the snapshots taken did not include my links, so when they are restored on a new machine the fences are empty. All my links are apparently lost. Not happy with that.

No - OneDrive is installed but no account has been created. And AFAIK I never did use it. Unless Fences defaulted to using it (I do have an Office365 account) and I wouldn't have known...(?) I looked at the XML file in a browser - it doesn't have any links. To be more clear: I have the old C: drive available, which has AppData\Roaming\Stardock\Fences\Backups. And have transferred that folder to the new C:, and then installed Fences from the web.&nb

Similar to the linked post... I've reinstalled Windows 10 (Pro x64 v2004). I had daily snapshots enabled before the change. Now Fences finds those but when I "recover" one, many of my fences are empty. The only ones working are portals. And I have restarted several times. I also have an XML backup (created somehow) but there's no way to load that. [ I think apps like this should have an explicit manual "Save settings" and "Load settings", for us

Fences aren't locked. I saved my settings, uninstalled and then reinstalled Fences. That cured the symptom. So it's just an FYI to the devs that this can happen.

Fences v3.09.11, Windows 10 Pro x64 latest updates. I created some folder portals on my desktop. They work OK but the process generated several phantom horizontal scrollbars that can't be deleted. These appear whenever Fences is enabled (i.e. always). From their position they seem to be artifacts of portal roll-ups. This never happened with regular fences; only with portals. See linked image. Phantom scrollbar

I'd suggest for the Help on Desktop Pages that you add the sentence on needing a fence to begin with. Especially since it's a frequently asked question. The user would expect the rules to apply to portals, since they seem to be just like fences. So maybe that's another place to add guidance - right at the top under "New icon placement and auto-organizing". I like the portals feature and use them wherever possible. That helps keep desktop (C:\) size down and mak

On Win 10 x64, GTX 1060 with latest Windows and graphic card updates. As recommended by all and practiced by none, I run as a standard user rather than Admin. That may explain the first problem. 1) When I right-click on the desktop, there is no option to enter "Fences Settings". I have to run the Fences app for that. 2) I can't get newly-created objects to automatically go into portals - only into regular fences. 3) [Ed
