"How high is the water, Momma?" "Three feet deep and fallin', son". "That's good, Momma." (from a song, sort of.) Thank you, Basj. All is well. Question: The Restore screens appear for the past few days, then infrequently (a dozen?) back to 2013. What is the algorithm for Restore images?
After apparently successful re-install resulting in all of my now"unFenced" icons and labels scattered uniformly all over the screen, how can I re-coup and have the re-install re-construct my fences?
Believe that I did per directions. Told that Fences install was complete. Screen shows totally dismantled items/icons from my just prior Fences. Do not see how to improve path, as message said OK. Did a second reboot, no change. Loss of prior Fences and content would be major loss. Help, please.
All the following have occurred with "lock" on. 1) Created a shortcut outside of Fences, moved it to "New Items" fence. This created multiple duplicate icons, but in fact when clicked, they went to previously created URLs, not to the target of the shortcut at all, e.g. "Picasa". 2) Many untouched icon movements "randomly" occur with the result that the icon moves to a different Fence. Wish I could to to Desktop and cause lost icon to go to "New Items". Wrong
Add one word to prior post. "icons can move SPONTANEOUSLY between startups" That's just not right. Dutchman, again."
Basic, mentioned a few times. Do what you almost do now and do it right. It is not debugged. Example: Even with "Fences Locked", icons can move and "hide" elsewhere on the screen. Example: moving and icon and it may "pair-up" ala quantum particles. I can move the pair all over the place, pick one place for one and fix the other. Please make basic product solid before moving on. If not, new customers will become anti-salesmen, in print as
Opacity was different. I do not remember ever changing them, but there it was, and the look is now even. Thanks for the response. I'll try to bring a harder problem next time. rao
Problem is in title. Fence titles, some bright, some dim, why?
Thanks for tickling the old brain, Raj. rao
I found the default option. Thanks. rao =================
I do not find how to create "Temp Fence". I do find the option to "Send new (multiple types of items) to this (new) fence." Also, even when the item is not new, an old item will move and "hid". Sometimes, I can search and find it and sometimes it is easier to "Delete and replace". I have never mastered the apparently random shuffling within fences and the individual icons not inside a fence. I just live with it. On balance it is a "keeper
What I do if I cannot "find" an icon, which is likely hidden under something else, is to look in the Desktop folder, delete the item in question, and create a new one which (I "hope"), I will see and place as desired.
No help here. Have always had this same problem. I've had to delete and replace, a real unnecessary pain in the fence since day one. rao
New icon from a drag/drop highlighted URL will not go in to ANY Fence, but goes "hard-left, then first vertical space down. It sometimes "pairs up" with an adjacent icon and the two want to stay together, hard to shake apart.
