Re: Using "Fences" as File Management Tool?

[Carter Campbell <lists -at- soph-text -dot- com>]

Hi Emoto;

I have used Fences for a couple of years. It's a desktop organizer. It 
is not a file system. Fences helps you organize the icons (or folders, 
if that is your preference) on your desktop. For example, if I have a 
couple of projects, I can create a desktop container to contain all of 
the application icons and the root folder icon for each of the 
projects. But, it does not create nested structures and it cannot 
replace properly organized project directories.

I like that it helps me categorize my desktop icons, but it doesn't 
replace a directory structure. For that, I use Total Commander (yes, 
I'm that old). I think your young apprentice doesn't grasp what a 
properly organized file system structure is. The outcome of living her 
life in front of a GUI.

I do recommend it, but it has its purposes.

Thanks

Carter
