Reply to 5.88 new thread in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi jared, customizing with "All Groups" won't work when individual Fence groups are customized. That is to say - if each Fence group is customized, "All groups" won't do anything. A couple things you can do: (1) Go to each Fence group and select "Reset this groups' customize". That group will then respond to changes in "All groups" (2) Go to All Groups and se

Reply to Now Announcing: Fences 6, Beta Available Now in Fences News Stardock Forums

Hi Kent, We’ve had some users who have installed but have seen that even after reboot it’s still showing Version 5. Have you rebooted? If so, does it say Version 6 in the About tab of the configuration dialog? If not, does it give any warning about a mismatch if file versions? Thanks for the help

Hi Cyber1e, we think we've got it fixed and have a new version we're testing. The issue was related to a fix we made related to Peek when Blur Backgrounds is disabled. Feel free to give the fixed version (v5.89) a try here if you'd like to help confirm the fix; otherwise hang on and hopefully we'll be able to get this released soon. Thanks and apologies for the inconvenien

Reply to Current folder or path in portal title bar in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi. If the name of the Folder Portal Fence is identical to the name of the folder it points to, it's name will change when you navigate to other folders. If you rename it to something custom, it will not. Does this resolve your concern regarding the title, or are you needing a custom name for the Fence *and* for it to change for navigation?

[quote who="Andy2222" reply="9" id="3961151"] I have a multimonitor setup, whith my Fences on the second monitor. Yet if my system goes to sleep and both monitors are in standby mode and than wake-up. Fences restores all to the first monitor. [/quote] Hi Andy2222- we'd love to take a closer look. Could you turn on advanced logging, reproduce the issue, then upload to us an error report? Steps: 1) Go to "About" tab, click Troubleshooting. Click

Hi brunolos, I can confirm this is a shortcoming with the current snapping — it does not seem to do the proper spacing around rolled up fences to easily space, when coming in from below a rolled up fence. We’ve added this to the dev list so that it gets resolved in a future update. Thank you for the report 🙏

Good to know! Appreciate the extra detail. Will look out for this should others come along with the same. Glad it’s resolved

Reply to desktop laptop fences sync in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi ddavissfusd, the program does not currently have this. But a few questions for you, as we evaluate it for the future: (1) Are your desktop and laptop different resolutions (2) If different resolutions, would you be OK with them having different layouts, but the same Fences and syncing the icon associations within the groups. (3) How would you like syncing to happen. OneDrive etc? If OneDrive, would you be bothered by OneDrive continually syncing a hidden "Fence

Good to know ty! Keep us updated should anything change.

Reply to Fences causes shut down and/or difficulty coming back from sleep/hibernation in Fences Stardock Forums

The details are good, keep em coming! This is the second time I've heard of this problem, so this is something we have to deal with even if it's not Fences' fault. Learning more about the problem is useful. This other user likewise solved by switching from their integrated to nvidia graphics card. https://forums.stardock.com/533077/get;3957644

Reply to Fences causes shut down and/or difficulty coming back from sleep/hibernation in Fences Stardock Forums

Question- when this is happening, do you see the AOC monitor turning on and off etc on repeat while the other monitors stay on, or kinda what's going on with that monitor? Sounds like the system itself is unresponsive, but yeah, what's happening with that monitor? Does it just stay on and keep the same imagery or does it still have an image even when your Resolution Monitor App was saying "monitor is gone". (Or does it never turn on at all.) Such a strange situation.

Reply to Fences causes shut down and/or difficulty coming back from sleep/hibernation in Fences Stardock Forums

Oh wow! Ha. Ok. One drive update at a time! Ha. Noted – so you too are seeing (independent from Fences) that that AOC monitor is coming and going. So, that confirms that. What is surprising is this is the second report I've gotten of this this week, but have otherwise never heard of this before. This makes me wonder if a Windows update made this occur. Because that type of disconnect/reconnect would absolutely trash the operating system, so, should be handled at the OS l

Nope nothing else needed. If it reoccurs, apply patch and then wait for the next occurrence after that and that’ll give us extended info. Hopefully though nothing more ☑️ Curious btw — did this begin after any specific event? Windows update, Fences update, system config change, etc? Also – which specific Windows build number are you running? (using WinVer.exe)

Hmmm, no let's see if we reproduce the issue without the patch – then if we do have something happen, we can try the patch for the extended debug info. Fingers crossed and glad to hear!
