I plan to upgrade from fences2 to 4 (on win10) and wondering what should I expect. I have two monitors with very crowded desktops (yes, even with fences). I don't want to reorganize hundreds of icons into fences again if the fences4 installer messes everything up.
I appreciate any input.
Hello,
I never user Fences 2 before, so I am not sure how it was before. But from the change log I can see lots of improvements and features were added into Fences since then. Use the 30 days trial and see if it suit you.
Also not sure if Fences 2 have layout snapshots and if its similar to Fences 3. If yes, than you should backup your layout snapshot by using this guide : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#backupsnapshots.
Thanks

Thank you so much for your response basj.
My concern is just to keep everything at their own places in fences after upgrading. If the 'snapshots' feature is not compatible for upgrading from 2 to 4 then I am gong to have big trouble. Therefore I am trying to get a solid answer to my question.
Actually, if you use the backup layout snapshots. You should be able to get back your Fences 2 layout if anything not right for you on Fences 4. Just need to uninstall Fences 4 and reinstall your old Fences 2 and put back those backup layout snapshots.
Thank you,
