I use Fences and love the organization it's allowed me. Even trying to convince my work place to invest in Fences and make it part of every work station's default setup. I'm a video game tester. The times I've tested it out at work to show my leads how easy it makes transferring files between computers and organizing files, I've always gotten a wowed response.
With my recent upgrade to Fences 3, I've found the Folder Navigation through Fences very handy (+1 reason my work place should invest). There's one option that I feel is missing (unless it's there and I missed it). There's no quick way to return A fence to it's default view. Once you've navigated a few folders deep, the Fence says there until you manually hit the up arrow a number of times to return it to the way it was originally.
My idea for the next update:
- A "Home" Button on the right side of the Fence title. Like the UP (back) arrow that's present how.
- An option in the Configuration menu to return all Navigated Fences to their "Home" states on Windows Start/Login.
- A per-fence option to exclude a fence from the above automatic return "Home" on Windows Start/Login feature.
- A per-fence and/or global timed automatic return "Home" setting.
Speaking of updates; are there patch notes for the most recent update? Might be handy to have those available on the forums, or better yet on the update notification pop-up. Would let users know what's being updated and how important the update is.
