DeskScapes 11 auto-import issues
Wednesday, July 24, 2024 by carololsson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Good morning everyone. I am hoping someone here can help me, since it seems that the forums and support can't seem to understand what's wrong, or indeed that there is a problem.
My issue is this: When DeskScapes 11 is first installed, the Photo and Video folders are selected by default as sources for backgrounds and potential backgrounds are all imported into DreamScapes. These two directories happen to be where I store all of my personal, you guessed it, photos and videos. Everything from vacation pictures to selfies, my entire media server, pretty much EVERY video and photo file I have is imported into DeskScapes and acessable through the Installed--->Recently Installed menus. Because the libraries are checked by default on first launch (I've done a clean install, purge and restore, everything) they're going to be imported.
Here's where it gets really bad. You cannot remove these items without 1) Permanently deleting the file, no Recycle Bin or 2) MOVING every file to a new path so that the links are invalid and delete them within DeskScapes in very small batches at best 1 at a time at worst (last count, this is about 3k files between photos and videos). Option 2 is what StarDock Support has told me to do.
My questions are this: Has anyone else had this problem? The forums acted like I was an idiot to actually USE the Photos and Videos folder to store my media. The representative actually said " I don't usually put my videos inside This PC >Video folder." How did you fix it without completely emptying both of those folders? This seems like an EXTREME issue with this program! Oh, and finally, how to you close the program?! There's no exit selection on the taskbar icon!
