Let me give feedback on your instructions. First of all, the way it is identified in "Layout backups" is that we have to click "Restore a backup" to create a backup. Who came up with that? Secondly, when I do go to create a backup, I can no longer give it a name. A popup appears that indicates "Backup saved!" (Refer to images below.) I will follow-the rest of the outdated "instructions" on the link you provided for Troubleshooting and report back later. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.

Yes. Backups are part of my regular daily work flow especially when I am reliant on an application to work as intended. I have at least three monitors configured on my desktop (not using a laptop) environment. One of the monitors is a travel monitor and is regularly unplugged (two to three times a month). Fences sometimes "glitches" and moves away from the main monitor even when there has been no changes in the settings for years. This very thing happened today, but I saw there was an update
Wow! I'm glad I am not the only one. I am replying specifically to Replies: 19 and 20. Why in the world would developers make a change like that when what was there worked just as well without having to "click a button?" The option to EXPORT settings would have been much more prudent.
As expected. Thank you for the follow-up.
My apologies for the late reply. For some reason I did not get a notification on the post. Yes. There is a conflict. Both software uses desktop double-click (if enabled) to execute something. However, neither Fences nor Directory Opus allow assigning an alternative.
I also use Directory Opus (by GP Software). Is there a way to reassign the trigger (i.e., not left double-click desktop) to have Fences "Vanish"? This is rather restrictive. I also plan to ask the same question of GP Software.
I have already searched and seen the posts regarding Backing up the Snapshots. However, I need to know how to backup the Sorting & Organizing settings for Fences 4. Here's an image in case anyone is unfamiliar of the section I am referring to here.
Running the latest F4B1. Two issues. 1. The "Update" button never goes away even after update. 2. Desktop background stays the same for multiple monitors rather than displaying a different background for
I didn't need to do that since I had a fresh install. In any case, my work around is working out for the moment. Like I had mentioned on a previous post, I had removed/disable the entries so Windows 10 will login a little more quickly and then just right-click on the screen to activate Fences since it seems to be hooked into the desktop's context menu.
Setup: Windows 10 v1809 OS build 17763.55 (latest). Docking station with two external monitors connected and laptop screen being used as well. The issue is a delay in startup and unrelated to any deliberate delay imposed by the OS. I had to also do a fresh install. I've also noticed that if I disable or remove the two startup entries for Fences, it can still activate after an interaction with the desktop (i.e., by right-clicking). Not sure why it would launch. Sticking to
Has this been resolved? I'm experiencing a similar issue. Currently running: Windows 10 Pro, Fences 3.09.
