Quoting Zubaz, reply 48This is really intended behaviour: If a shortcut doesn't exist, don't show it.
Try loading the last snapshot after you mount the drive. That should restore the shortcuts.
Drive mounted, shortcuts created and fenced. Snapshot taken, drive dismounted, right-click desktop and Refresh - shortcuts disappear from fence. Re-mounted drive, restored snapshot, shortcuts remain gone even after right-clicking and choosing Refresh on desktop. Edit: they appear to have moved to my "Unsorted" fence, where I put all new icons by default on the desktop.
I would revisit why you chose to hide/move shortcuts that point to a volume not accessible or visible. That includes encrypted volumes, hot-swap drives like USB sticks, etc. Requiring someone restore a snapshot to restore hidden shortcuts is too tedious, in my opinion. They may have made/changed other fences since the last automated daily, and this would cause no end of trouble when it reverted.
As a fences user, I would simply like to see shortcuts remain where they are, and utilize default Windows behavior for shortcuts. If their drive isn't accessible, they simply timeout. If you'd like custom behavior, you could dim their icon or make it slightly transparent to indicate the file they point to isn't available.
Note: this problem persists in Fences 2.0. Icons that are continually re-created are eventually (and seemingly randomly) deleted from their assigned fence. On one occasion they were moved to the default fence for new icons. All other times they have been forcibly removed (an actual delete of a file by Fences 2.0).
It worries me that Fences would be removing icons permanently from any fence. I have folders that I occasionally drop into fences for temporary storage, that have actual data on them. How can I trust Fences if it is deleting files elsewhere?
Might have to do what others seem to be doing - revert to Fences Pro until 2.0 is reliable.
