Cool. Thanks for the most excellent and responsive support!

Aha! What I actually want is the next one down, "Application exclusions". I forgot about that. I guess you can only add to the exclude by typing in a file path. While you can only set the "don't auto group" by clicking in the Groupy menu. Adding devenv.exe in the exclude list solves it. Is there a reason they are two separate concepts instead of one list? Bit confusing.

I wasn't trying to bust the file out, just take it inside VS and split it to two panes, but for some reason Groupy was grabbing the file and going to auto-group instead of letting VS's split pane stuff work. I was able to fix this by toggling the exclude. I grouped and then unchecked "automatically exclude" and then closed out VS. Then opened VS and grouped and re-checked "automatically exclude". Now it is correctly letting VS do its split pane stuff instead of immediately grouping it

Are you using the latest version of VS 2017 (15.9.4)? I wonder if they changed something that broke it. Here's a video of what happens to me... Basically, dragging the tab at all pops it into a group even though it's set to auto exclude. And if I try to grab the tab again in groupy it also does it again. The only way to get it to properly go into VS without auto groupy is to start dragging the tab, let it go into groupy, break it out of the group, then carefully click

Exclude from auto grouping used to work. Then I allowed an upgrade to the latest 1.18 and it does not. How do I revert to a working version? Example... Visual Studio 2017 is in the exclude list but Groupy overrides that making it impossible to dock windows:

Still happening for me, any updates?

" I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations."... is where requests go to die. This close all button feature has been requested many times this year, for example: https://forums.stardock.com/486561/page/1/#3709228

Yes, I just installed 1.11, rebooted, and still the same. I have a feeling Greenshot may be doing something strange with the way they create new windows -- they tend to appear under other windows sometimes (even without Groupy).

I'm still seeing some applications not automatically group new windows, even if they are set to automatically group. An example is https://getgreenshot.org/ . Take a screenshot and open in editor. It shows grouped mode (even though is only one tab), as it should. Take another screenshot and open in editor. It opens a second group instead of adding to the first group.

Great to hear, it sounds like you've already thought of a lot of these things! I'm loving Groupy so much that I keep seeing little things that could make it better/smoother and feel "right" with Windows. Feel free to ignore if unpossible, but without further ado, here are some more ideas :-) ... It's not about the focus but the focus rectangle. You're the low level windows expert, so I don't know if it's possible to make it look like it's focused when it's not (blue rectangle

Updated to Groupy 1.1 and that made stuff a bit smoother here (close other tabs, awesome). The implementation leaves a bit to be desired, though: - Menus jump around because close other tabs only shows if there are other tabs. Windows convention would be to show the option, but disabled. Just like Chrome does it: https://i.imgur.com/p0rFLQp.png - Can't right click on a tab and get the menu, have to go all t

Just got Groupy 1.1 update applied and it looks to have solved the multiple explorers not being grouped sometimes issue. Awesome!

Anybody know of a window switcher plus one box search app? I'm thinking a combination of https://contexts.co/ and https://www.alfredapp.com/ . Launch a new app or switch to a running window (including browser tabs) with a few keystrokes, all from the same main launcher bar. Done right, that'd pretty damn powerful. Instead of splitting launching and switching into separate apps, separate c

That's better than not having it, for sure. Can you make the three seashells menu accessible via right click on any tab, but also surface tab specific menu items like "Close other tabs", "Close tabs to the right" etc? That's a lot nicer than having to dig out the three seashells icon from wherever it ended up based on the open tabs. Chrome does this the best imo by moving the window title to the tab bar and having those controls apply to all tabs: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/40A

That only works if you have a group already started. I want it to always do it from scratch. For example, I have it set up like this: https://i.imgur.com/U3xPNwy.png If I open a couple of Explorers and then group them, and then open a couple more they go into the group. But I have to manually go find the first couple and drag them to the group to start the group before new Explorer will go into a group. Just starting from a clean d

YES! 100x this. I had to uninstall Groupy because exclude doesn't seem to work and/or have to keep excluding more and more apps. Chrome keeps trying to dock even though I've excluded it every which way. I want to include some specific apps like Explorer and Notepad and have those always grouped together in a group by app type (so one group for Explorer, one for Notepad). And then no other apps try to group.

Need this for sure. Also on the single tab close don't resize the other tabs immediately but wait a second or two. You should be able to click click click X over and over without moving the mouse to close a few tabs one after eachother. Chrome does this perfectly.
