Problems with Groupy

from Stardock Forums

Good morning,
I have two problems with Groupy.
1) When I open a saved group via Saved Groups, all programs in the group open, but they do not group. I.e. they are individually opened normally.
2) When I put Microsoft teams into the group, the clicking behavior within the program changes. Because of the additional title bar everything moves a bit down. And I have the impression that the click positions in the teams do not move with it. I.e. I want to click something in teams, then I have to click above the clickable. I hope that what was understandable ;-)
Have a nice day to you all.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information on your issue

  1. Windows version. Please use Winver.exe for full Windows version numbers.
  2. Groupy version numbers.
  3. On Saved Groupy issue. Do you have issues when opening saved group of various Windows explorers or only on certain applications? If only certain application. Please post name of those applications that don't open in group.
  4. On Microsoft Team issue, I can't reproduce this on my system. Please post a video on this issue to understand it better.

Thanks

Hello,

1) my windows version ist 2004 19041.572

2) Die Groupy version is 1.42

3) I have done several tests. For example Firefox and Notepad. I have saved the group and when I call this one, both programs are opened but not grouped. Yesterday I had Outlook, Slack and MS Teams and there was no grouping. Do I have to do anything before saving a group?

4) Today everything is okay. I don't know why it didn't work yesterday.

Thanks for your help.

As Groupy 1.44 has just been released I would recommend updating to that.

Unfortunately it is not yet possible. I have a grouping of applications and save them. When called, all applications are started, but still not grouped. Is there anything else I have to consider?

If you save few Windows explorer with different folders into one group. Does it open in a group?

Thank you,

Hello,
if I group two Explorer windows, then it works. But still e.g. not a group teams, Outlook and Slack or Firefox and Notepad.

Hello, I am having the same problem using Groupy 2 BETA 1. Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 64bits

My saved group is as follows:

 

[Group]
GroupCount=4
GroupLeft=1913
GroupTop=-669
GroupRight=2827
GroupBottom=165
GroupMax=0

Target=C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1



(Note that the whatsapp does not open at all. At first it was this weird 5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_cv1g1gvanyjgm!App thing, I tried changing it to open the .lnk shortcut that works. But it still doesn't open)

I bought the upgrade to Groupy 2 hoping it would have this feature working... now I feel ripped off because I don't see the improvement over the 1.5 version I already had, other than tiny color accents.
