This is strange.....

When I save a file to my dasktop, it seems to not be there, I can't see it anywhere, when I browse to my desktop with explorer or any other app to open the file, it's there and easy to see.

Is this a bug? feature? setting somewhere?

Thanks

Tea anyone?

Fences is placing files saved to the desktop above and/or underneath icons that are already on it, in fences.  It's really distracting, especially when you save a crapload of things to the desktop, because every time you go to move one of them, it "rearranges" all of the icons again in basically the exact same order as before except it moves everything up one.  I think I even see this same phenomenon with auto-arrange off but I can't remember.

In any case, a "default" fence does not appear to exist, and would be a very good idea indeed.

Someone else in another Fences thread said you guys should do this for folders too-if you do you have my money as well.

Thanks for th info....and the great suggestion....now I have to move everything in all my fences....

Fences receives the Ironclad stamp of approval

It also has the P.F.E.T.O.M. thumbs up too.

@Zubaz: Any info on my problem?

@Others: Should I post the logfile here (it is very long)? Or just simply wait for the next version?

BTW: It definitely interferes with something. Installed it on another XP machine and works as it's supposed to.

Is there an option to tell the non fenced desktop to stay visable by default?

If not i suggest you add an option that allows the user to have the normal unfenced desktop space remain visible.

The originally released version was working fine on my XPP machine.  Updated my NVIDIA 8600M drivers yesterday and now the fences hide with double-click on the desktop but the icons within them stay put on the desktop.  Same behavior as the .037 update was demonstrating.

Correct. To my system, however as well as others.

I will compare the processes of the systems. It works on my old XPhome Computer and on this newly acquired XPpro it ain't workin'...

Thanks for your support.

Like if it worked inside folders, too.

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

But it's useful enough for me as is, so YMMV.
