Bug: Groupy groups do not correctly record the currently open documents, only one
Stardock Forums
Summary:
I had opened two different documents in Typora (notes software) and saved as a group. When reopening the group two copies of the same document are opened rather than the original two documents. This also happens in LibreOffice Calc.
I have searched the forums but not found a thread that describes this particular problem. I've been really enjoying Groupy's ability to create tabbed windows, and hope this bug can be fixed.
System:
Windows 10 Pro V1909 OS build 18363.592
Groupy 1.3 (licensed)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Groupy is set to always group Typora windows together
- Right click on the Typora icon in the task bar and open Document1
- Right click and open Document2. The two documents are grouped.
- Click the 3 dot menu and select Save Group
- Close Typora
- Search for the group in the Start menu and open it
Expected Behavior:
- The application opens in a group with the two different documents
Actual Behavior:
- Two copies of the first document are opened
- The config file for the group has the same document listed twice
[GroupyEntry1]
OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files\Typora\Typora.exe
RunElevated=0
NoPatternMatching=0
CommandLine=""D:\Nextcloud\Notes\Document1.md""
WorkingDirectory=C:\Program Files\Typora
Target=C:\Program Files\Typora\Typora.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1
[GroupyEntry2]
OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files\Typora\Typora.exe
RunElevated=0
NoPatternMatching=0
CommandLine=""D:\Nextcloud\Notes\Document1.md""
WorkingDirectory=C:\Program Files\Typora
Target=C:\Program Files\Typora\Typora.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1
[Group]
GroupCount=2
GroupLeft=1957
GroupTop=430
GroupRight=2594
GroupBottom=1031
GroupMax=0
Workaround:
- Manually edit the name.groupy config file and correct the filenames for documents you want to open in the group.
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Saved Groups
The next time the group is opened the two different documents will open as expected.
Further detail:
I tested this with LibreOffice Calc to see if this could be reproduced, using the same steps as above. The same bug happened.
