Ride The Fence
It's a good thing to do!
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 by Mirsguy | Discussion: Fences Beta
The only glitch I have found so far is that I am not able to right-click and drag out a new Fence while the RightClick program is running. When I right-click to drag out a new fence, my RightClick menu pops up. I had to unload RightClick, and then Fences worked like a charm.
It would be nice if the two could harmonize. Either way, I see this application becoming one of the greats from Stardock!

Imagine what that could do to an OS? LOL.... Zindows Vistaz or maybe Zinux Dredhut.
Keep smiling, RomanDA!

This. Absolutely love it. Now I can look at my desktop without weeping blood. (I seriously used to weep blood at the sight of my desktop. True fact.)
It's really working perfectly, I've done everything I can think of to break it, and nothing's worked.

I'm loving this - this is what I've needed since Microsoft pretty much threw away icon groups from Windows 3 and shoved everything into the Start Menu in Windows 95 
.
BTW, I noticed that when you first install, it can create Fences for Programs, Files & Docs, Folders, etc - I think it would be very nice to be able to modify some sort of set of rules or filters, and be able to apply them at any time, and have them automatically applied to new items.

AGREE!!!! this would be nice also to have NEW icons places in the correct fence when they are created.

Okay. I've been loving Fences. Just a few suggestions or issues.
- Have it so png's can be used (possible?)
- How much customization ability do you plan on putting into this? Will we be able to skin it?
- The only annoying part for me (not so much annoying, but it took me some getting used to) is when I put a folder in a fence, it grabs the folder that the folder I want is in. Also, the folder is no longer where it was, it's now part of the desktop/fences. This is a bit of a pain when I am looking for that particular folder from PSP or something and it's not where I thought it was. I have to scroll back up to 'DESKTOP" to get it, IF I remeber that is where it is and don't have a panic attack thinking it's been destroyed or deleted. lol. I don't know how others would fel about it, but having the folders be just shorcuts would be nice.

Wow, this is really cool. At first use it reminds me of dragthing for mac. It would also nice to create url's and put them in fences also. But then that would be in conflict with my rightclick app. [ i put my favorite links in it ] But that would be a very efficient feature for people who don't use rightclick [shame on you] Anyways, love what i'm seeing with this app, and hope to see further developement with it's progress.

I've got internet shortcuts in fences. Isn't that a URL?
Reply #34 Thursday, September 11, 2008 6:52 PM
Pretty much. Technically, a URL is just a bunch of text. A shortcut is a small file that tells the OS where something is - in this case, it tells the OS to launch the default browser with the URL.
So yeah, you can put URLs on the desktop and in fences.
Just drag and drop the icon of the website onto the desktop. Works with any major browser.

ah didn't know that/ didn't try that. either way cool!
Reply #37 Thursday, September 11, 2008 11:23 PM
This is so cool!
Just a double click away from an unimpeded desktop, dream or the use of my sorted shortcuts! Now I can use an ObjectDock zoomer for everyday stuff, OD plus tabs for infrequent stuff and Fences for stuff I use every now and then! (Like defrager, backup prog, CCleaner Etc.)
I like the fact that they sort of dock to the sides and each other, even when sizing. Makes lining them up easy!

It would be nice if it remembered it's show/hide state between shut-downs.
Everytime I turn on my computer, Fences is showing, even if it was hidden when I turned off my PC
