Folder Preview Error Message Glitch

Annoying issue for those who are often switching between accounts on Win7

from Stardock Forums

Hey there guys, first time poster here but a long time user of fences. To those in the development team that may be reading this, I love your product and you've done a great job. However, there is one annoying issue which is causing me annoyance.

The new folder preview, while being totally awesome, has a glitch in it, and it would not be difficult to patch. Whenever a user switches accounts from an account which is running Fences with FP's on the desktop, they come back to anywhere from 2 - 200 alert boxes that say "Fences Folder Portals feature is not available in Classic Mode; Please enable Aero to use this feature". This is something which is very, very annoying as before we can do anything with Windows Explorer we have to get rid of all of them. Please fix this issue, it would not be a difficult patch to fix this.

Thanks, Michael

Ditto on this. Love the product (and the previous version as well), but this is a particularly annoying issue when Remote Desktop sessions are involved (Win7 x64). Please be kind and update this forum entry with the patch in which the issue is fixed as I can't seem to find a mechanism to be notified on the thread itself.

 

Thanks,

Let me add myself as one of the suffering, lol. This is aggravating, as I keep looking for that Aero setting but ca never find it, nor a reference to this Classic mode. I also use VMs and remote desktops. I'm a new purchaser of Object Desktop, having used Fences 1 free for about a year. I'm using this at work and don't need any additional issues. 

 

Actually, I just want the message to go away. But I find the portal useful.

 

Thanks.
