| Fences 5.8.6.8 Nov 20, 2024 |
Platforms: Stardock only (Steam tbd) Changes: Data collection improvements for when clients are installing Fences over and already existing Fences installation. For more information, please see: https://forums.stardock.com/532161/fences-file-version-mismatch-message Fixes "More options..." cut off in the rule editor Fixes issue where rule criteria were not saving when adding Add improved wallpaper change detection + added debug code https://forums.stardock.com/531663/page/1/#3948569 Add robustness for monitoring ID detection https://forums.stardock.com/531354/page/2/#3948548 Improvements to wallpaper change detection algorithm Additional debug output during wallpaper capturing process when Advanced Logging is enabled Fixed the issue where fence groups would not dock to top of the screen anymore. Additional tooling to help with the detection of installation files that may not be properly replaced has been included with this release. To help us isolate instances of this happening, we are sending limited data about the installation to Stardock. No user or PC-sensitive data is sent, only the Fences file version numbers. |
| Fences 5.8.4.7 Sep 26, 2024 |
Added functionality to resolve excessive User Account Control prompts. Added the "Create debug package" option to the Troubleshooting area Added a new advanced (C++) logging option to the Troubleshooting area Updated Win11ContextMenu package's internal package icons (new installs only) Prevent rare situations where all icons could end up on the desktop upon app startup Prevent situations where a layout could not save when using old layout modes Added resilience for desktop folders relocated to removable drives Fixes ‘number of times opened’ sorting for items in a Fence. Fixed "icons bunch up on bottom" issue Fixed "layout stuck" issue New feature: Ability to "Swap Screen Contents" in the Layouts tab. If you've arrived at a multi-monitor configuration and your icons/groups are not on the correct monitor, you can swap them until it's right. Find this under "Adjust displays" link. Major Update: All users are now being migrated to the new multi-mon compatible auto layout adjustment system introduced in Fences v5.50. Unlike the previous options, this new system will keep track of your group positions on a per-monitor-configuration basis so that when you plug and unplug monitors/dock and undock, your groups and icons will be right where you left them. Additional messaging has been placed throughout the Layout tab area to emphasize and notify when users arrive to this tab. (Only users who currently have or have had in the past more than 1 monitor will be notified.) Major Improvement: Folder Portals now resize lightning fast, so you can see their contents rearrange in real-time as you resize your group. It's pretty neat! And now super responsive. Compatibility update: Peek performance and reliability has been further improved with the latest Windows Insider. Compatibility update: It was possible for some Folder Portals to delay showing if one of the folder portals was actively syncing (i.e. Dropbox). This has been worked |
