How to disable create fence here option for the left click rectangle

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I am using Fences 2.0. Drawing a rectangle on desktop activates create a fence here option. Most of the times i have to select more than 1 icons on the desktop, I had to do that using left click and then select the icons, but doing so also activates create fence option which is becoming a headache for me now. I want to activate this option only when drawing a rectangle using right click. Is there any option to disable the create fence option when left click is used to draw a rectangle?

 

Many thanks in advance!

That is not an option at this time.  The developers are looking into options.

+1 to this feature request. It's really annoying how Fences asks to create a fence/folder portal on left click, especially if click-and-dragging a lot of things on the desktop. The old version of Fences didn't do this so I'm not sure why the new version doesn't have a simple on/off for this feature...

Hello! I registered here only to bump this thread. 

I just downloaded the latest Fences and was thinking of buying the pro version, BUT I am not overreacting by saying the new version is unusable. The "new feature" to create a fence by dragging a box with the left mouse button is the worst thing you could do. It makes simple tasks as selecting multiple icons a pain.

Please, please remove it or at least add the option to disable the LMB creation of a fence.

Hi, thanks for the reply man, it seems like I don't have the latest version after all since I do not see that dropdown anywhere..
