Hi All,

I just bought Fences 4, and I'm curious why fences are unable to wrap icons around them. This works fine with 'Auto arrange icons' enabled, but that settings honestly doesn't fly with my workflows, and without it, icons can get hidden behind fences (and fences can be dragged over icons, hiding them). Free roaming icons and fences don't seem to co-exist very well.

I appreciate the freedom to place icons wherever I want, and Fences complements that really well. Until of course an icon gets hidden behind a fence and I have no idea that it's there until I move all the fences out of the way and finally find it. This seems like a really odd design decision and I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm missing.

At first I thought this may be a bad install, but I've run the purge process and functionality remains unchanged. I wanted to get some feedback before I do a clean boot, as doing that is obviously pointless if this is intended behavior.

Any videos I'm able to find that demonstrate the wrapping always have Auto arrange enabled, so that just reinforces the thought that it's by design.

I'm not particularly interested in forcing all icons into a new fence, though I'm sure I could jury rig some sort of a setup to kind of work around this behavior, just seems kind of odd that it's not just a setting. Or is it a setting, and I'm just completely missing it?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
