Quick hide only fences, not real desktop icons?

August 18, 2016 2:58:31 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I know that on an icon-by-icon basis, you can tell Fences to not quick-hide certain icons. But as icons come and go from my desktop, that's not something I'll ever keep up with. So, is there a quick way to set up Fences such that quick-hide will hide only the fences and leave the desktop icons visible?

Thanks!

I'm guessing since I haven't gotten any replies yet, there's no way to do this. So I suppose this is now a feature request. I would really appreciate this ability.

I believe if you select the icons you want to exclude the right click and choose exclude this icon from quick hide

I'm asking for a way to automatically only hide fences and not icons. I have a lot of icons on my desktop, which would have to be selected one-by-one for exclusion, and icons come and go from my desktop all the time and it'd be impossible to keep up with. If I could just check a box that said "Hide fences only," that would help me enjoy this program quite a bit more.

If you create a Fence that you do not wish to hide...and set all new icons to go to that fence then set that fence to be excluded from 'quick hide' you'll have what you are after...

 

The 'default' setting is that new icons go to the desktop and are not subject to group 'control'.
