Dear Startdock Support,
Actually I bought Fences assuming it would allow displaying the contents of a particular folder on the file-system.
I think it's a major feature and you should increase its priority in your TODO list of the Fences tool.
In alternative or additionaly to that feature it would be great that you added up a simple command-line utility that allowed moving files both ways, between anywhere in the filesystem and the Fences themselves.
You could designate a Fence in a command line tool usage like @Fence:"My Fence".
By having any of these implemented (folder-contents-display or command-line-utility) a user could easily display on desktop log folders, program output folders, send files to a specific fence through a cron-job (using any windows cron-job program like zcron) that would periodically download user specified files from the web and place them on the user desktop.
A lot could be achieved just by adding one of that 2 features (or by both).

As a 3rd request for development, and albeit it's only an aesthetics one: it would be great that you allowed the fence name label to be disabled in terms of being highlighted anytime the user has the mouse over over a given fence, (and has previously locked the fences). This would give the user the feeling that fences have been engraved to the desktop, not allowing accidental user changes, and are not "living beings". Having the labels "become active" as you currently do tends to distract the user when he's moving windows around the desktop, thus decreasing his performance and productivity. I thus ask you to kindly consider this enhancement.
Thank you for your great tool and looking forward for this new improvements,
Best Regards,
