Off course - now I can't replicate it. I deleted the original shortcut file. I just tried to create a shortcut to another pdf file, and then copy the shortcut to the same folder as before. I then deleted the actual file. And now Fences does not crash. I will continue to keep an eye out.

The shortcut itself was pointing to a location on my home NAS, but the shortcut was saved to a dropbox folder that was a subfolder to a folder that placed on the desktop as a portal folder. Hope that helps.

So, I have been experimenting with Fences all evening and have figured out what triggers it to shut down: I purged the installation, and then reinstalled. As I was starting to organize my desktop icons in folders again, it all seemed to work fine. Then I added some folder portals from dropbox folders I use to sync files and links between my personal and my work computer. That worked fine too - until I added one specific dropbox folder. I then had

I have tried to reboot - same issue. When I enable fences after a couple of second it get disabled again. I am running latest production version of Fences on Windows 11 Pro <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/41/48/4148728/e340caf0-38f6-4

Hmm - that seems counter intuitive based on the available setting on the screen.

I keep all my fences on my primary monitor, and the settings: are perfect for me. Except - they don't work. I undock my laptop and then connect it back to the dock. Now, all my fences and icons are on the second monitor and not on the primary. I disconnect the primary, and reconnect it, hoping that would make the icons switch ... and they do ... for about tw

If I add a shortcut to a folder and move that shortcut into a fences folder portal, the default behavior when I click on the folder shortcut, is to open the folder inside the fences folder portal. Sometimes, that is NOT what you want ... for that specific folder shortcut. It would be great if you could right-click on that shortcut and identify it as a standard shortcut that would open the folder in a file explorer window.

I am familiar with this solution from Chrome as well as a similar one for Edge. The problem here is that you get a shortcut to Chrome with some cryptic parameters and not a shortcut to the URL. That means you can't share the link with others, and you can't copy the link to your other computers, etc. Also, an issue if you have to upgrade your computer - i.e., a new laptop or complete OS refresh. You will have to regenerate those links from scratch again. It would be much

This is more a suggestion than issue: Windows (for some weird reason) still doesn't support favicons. This means that when I drag a URL from my web-browser to my desktop, it will show the icon for my currently chosen default browser, and not the favicon from the actual website I am dragging it from. It will actually show the facicon while I am dragging, right up until I release my mouse button, and then it becomes this dull and useless either Chrome, Edge, or Firefox ico
