Excellent, thank you - that worked.

I just moved to a new laptop with Windows 11. Groupy 2.2 on Windows 10 on my old laptop shows a groupy tab and the groupy menu even if there is just one office application open. On my new laptop, that is not the case. That means to open a saved group, I have to first open two applications and group them before I get the groupy menu. I carefully compared settings on both laptops to make sure they were the same, they are. This has been going on
Any more ideas? To recap, I used to be able to snap together just about any two windows. Now it is very limited, mostly to Office application windows. Thank you'
I use the setting: Always group windows when moved on top of each other. I tried the setting you suggested (not a bad idea - I'll keep it for a while). BUT: I still have the same limitations as I had before. I did not and do not have the selection you underlined in red.
I followed instructions, uninstalled by running the .bat file. i reinstalled and entered my product key. It is improved, in that I can now snap together Powerpoint and Edge windows, but not Outlook or File Explorer anything else nothing else - e.g. SublimeText Any more ideas? Thanks, Michael

I have used groupy for a few years now. The capability I use the most is to move any window slowly near the title bar of another window and they snap together. It's like magic to have many different applications tabbed. However in the past few weeks, this no longer works unless the two windows are both Excel or both Word or one Word and one Excel. Two Powerpoint windows will not snap together. This is infuriating, reducing the utility of Groupy by about 90% There is a way to force it,
With ordinary windows, I can use the mouse to select an edge to resize. Its easy and fast. When window are grouped using Groupy, it is much more difficult. I need to go super slow motion. Very frustrating. Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem? Michael
By the way, how do you get a quote inserted from another user? It does not work if I hit reply, and there is no option in the editor, e.g.: <img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAm8AAABYCAYAAACj1hC0AAAgAElEQVR4nO2dfVSc9bXvc9e9rXW1plpr7Tn32t67Tm+vtren9qy+2artWX3xtqet2trWR52MOE2nJA0ho5BIIARFp2VCqFQRYo5jNGAKoSaDkwSRICEhJhAJBsRAwktqJhjHJEpeJgHmc/94ZpgZGMi8PDPMZPZnrb2yAsM8+3lm/37z/e39e5kzPj6OmJiYmJiYmJhYctic2XZATExMTExMTEwsdBPxJiYmJiYmJiaWRDZndHSUCxcucP78eTExMTExMTExsQS3O
I got that "Always show tabs for this type of window" option to work. It is potentially useful but the problem happened with Excel and Powerpoint where that setting is usually on, but somehow got turned off. Then it would go back on again, randomly. If I see it again and can get a repeatable bad behavior, I will report back.
Thanks. I am finding that the behaviors are pretty inconsistent, and only after a few hours of playing around did I discover some consistency, but there are still random things going on. Here are my findings. v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </o:OfficeDo
Here is a link to a video where I try over and over to get Groupy to link windows together. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I also find that sometimes the windows snap together when I am not trying. What is the trick to getting it to work every time I want it to and never by accident? It all seems pretty random, which makes using the tool more than a little infuriating. https://www.dropbox.com/s/j
Is there a way to upload a video from my hard drive? I wish to show what the problems are with grouping windows. Thanks, Michael

For me, the majority of the programs do not work. It works for File Explorer, Powerpoint, Edge, Excel but not Word nor Outlook, nor Notepad++ nor Chrome, nor Sublime Text. So that is odd. Any ideas about that? Specifying to hold down the shift or control key before grouping makes no difference. If it is going to work, I can always tell by looking at a single window, since there is a new line on top of the window with a single tab. For the applic
It is on, and I just noticed that it is partially working, e.g. for File Explorer and Excel. But I can only get it to work when I choose the instant option. If I set it to be 1/3 second or longer, it never snaps to the group. Initially I had only tried it on my most-often used programs like Firefox, Notepad++ and Sublime where it does not work at all. Is there a list of programs for which it will work? Thanks Michael
I already watched that video, that is why I bought the product, very slick and super-useful, if only it would work. Fences works just fine. I have Windows 10.
I just bought the whole Object Desktop suite, which includes Groupy 1.2. I installed it using the Manager and grouping just did not work. I tried holding the windows for quite a while, I changed setting to be instant. Nothing worked. I followed the instructions to remove and reinstall, this time not through the manager, but directly from the web site. Still does not work. I cannot group anything. WHAT GIVES?
