Groupy 2.30 Changelog (Released 10/27/2025)

Date

10/27/2025

Version

UI: 2.3
File Version: 2.3.0.2

Changes

  • Has a small tweak to prevent a theoretical crash

  • This has tweaks to handle saved groups with apps like Discord, which change their path every single update

  • Also resolves an issue with pinning groups to the taskbar and start menu, and the taskbar will now show a prompt to ask (new strings in en.lng)

  • Resolves issue with undoing a globally saved colour for an app (depending on how colours are saved, you may need to once apply a blank colour to revert to app default and then again to reset that)

  • Resolves issue with tab colours not always being applied to existing tabs when opening from a saved group

  • Resolves issue with explorer tabs in auto group mode sometimes opening up invisibly, depending on focus and timing, especially on Windows 10

  • Newly saved groups will now remember which tab had focus at save time and attempt to restore this.

  • Tweak to grouping to make automatic window grouping not make it look like a group moves temporarily when grouping.

  • Added a prompt when excluding an app to exclude all with the filename or just that file.

  • Tweaked custom grouping rules to ignore blank rules, which users sometimes accidentally create when playing with the UI.

Known issues

While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Thank you so much for all the fixes and features over the last couple years! Really, really great progress. I've dug around and cannot for the life of me find an "Always show tab bar" option, even for single windows. I know on single windows you can hover above the window to show the tab bar (with single tab), but I was actually hoping to be able to always show the tab bar even on single windows. I use a large 42 inch monitor, and Groupy sort of becomes my task bar for all the FancyZone quadrants of my monitor. With how it is right now, when I drag a window over to group it to a single window, the tab bar then pops above the FancyZone, and I have to re-snap the window to the FancyZone. It would be really great to have that as an advanced tab setting. Like "Show tab bar on single windows".

Btw, I do have the "Always visible" setting on. But on single windows it still hides the tab bar.

Hello,

Thank you,
