Groupy: problems and questions

Hello

I'm testing groupy on windows 10 and have the following problems and questions (see also attached images):

  • (How) Is it possible to start groupy with saved groups automatically at the startup of Windows 10?
  • Where can I find a documentation of all available options in the configuration screen, context menu item, ...?

 

 

  • The configuration window is too small. Not all information is shown (Button text, info text)
    Can the configuration window be resized, so all information is shown?
  • More tabs cannot be moved at once
    That is a big problem, if many tabs should be moved at once

 

  • How can new/opened files added to existing tabs?
    • Pressing the Ctrl key isn't a good solutioon, because it doesn't work in Excel for example
      An option
      • Save groupes with showing existing groups would be helpful
  • How is it possible, that new opened PDF document is added to one of the existing groupy tabs?
    Currently (for Acrobat reader) no tab is created,
    so I must add the document manually to one of the groupy tab

 

 

  • Rename group dialog: Font is too big

 

 

  • 25.11: one groupy group is totally crashed, so I've to start all applications again.

 

  • When I add a new file to a group tab somtimes the whole move to the other screen, move to the other screen and back or move to other screen and two group tile one screen.
  • Screen move to the other screen, e.g. when I click on the eclipse tab on the right screen
  • Sometimes groupy tabs are splitted into 2 separate tabs, e.g. when opening another Excel document.

 

Loading of saved groups is not correct

  • I've saved two groups
    • group 1:
      • 4 Firefox+ 2 Editor+ several Explorer tabs (left screen)
    • group 2
      • several Excel documents, Outlook, Word, Teams, SqlDeveloper, 2x Eclipse, IntelliJ (right screen)
  • When I load them, the result is
    • group 1:
      • Firefox 4x not assigned to any tabs
    • group 2:
      • MS Teams, Eclipse 2x, IntelliJ are not always be assigned to group 1
      • An empty Excel document is opened in a separate tab, which was not saved
      • The order of Groupy tabs is different
      • Renamed Groupy tabs are not saved
        • How can this be changed.
          For me it would be sufficient, to modifiy the saved *.groupy files manually,
          if I know more details about the specification of these files

I hope many of my questions can be answered and problems can be solved.

Otherwise I cannot use Groupy in the future, although I like the concept very much.

Hallo

Beside improvements about loading stored groups almost the issuses mentioned above still exist

 

  • some applications are still not added, when loading saved groups
    • Firefox
      • all 4 instances are missing
      • sadly 4 empty instances are added, too
    • one Eclipse was not added, while another one was added
    • InelliJ was not added
  • only one tab can be selected to move them inside a group tab
    • which makes more work to move the tabs, like they are saved
    • and ordering tabs is not convenient
  • no tooltip is available, if the name of the tab is not completely visible

 

  • new outlook mail windows and some other are not added to a groupy group, even not to a new one

As the 30 day test period ends in the near future, I will say good by to Groupy at the moment, because I cannot test it anymore.

As long as so many issues exist from my side and I haven't got any detailed reply,
I'm not willing to pay for Groupy, although I like the concept of Groupy.
