Add to Group not working reliably in Groupy Stardock Forums

I have 5 excel files open. If I click on Add to group > All ungrouped windows from Excel.exe OR Add to group > All ungrouped windows from XLMain, Groupy only groups 3 Excel windows even though 5 Excel windows are open. I have to manually add the others to the group. I tested with 7 Word document windows and it does the same thing i.e., group only 3 windows. It appears this option groups only 3 windows, that appears to be a limitation in Groupy right now or maybe a bug. Gro

New tab button opens active file in notepad in Groupy Stardock Forums

So, I have some notepad files open in groupy. When I click on the new tab button ('+'), Groupy opens the active tab text file instead of a blank instance of notepad. It only opens blanks instance of notepad if the active tab is unsaved. Is there a keyboard shortcut or setting to force Groupy to open a blank notepad file when the new tab button is clicked? The risk in the way Groupy does this currently is overwriting a file where you unknowingly save new content to a pre

Thanks. I hope I'm not the only one who sees the significance of having an organized saved groups. It should be straightforward to implement it and it would be disappointing if this is not released in the next version.

Capability to organize saved groups into folders, into a structured menu, and be able to add separators (text or simple divider line). in Groupy Stardock Forums

Hello, Does Groupy have the following functionality? If not, can you add it in next release version? If it has, then can you send me instructions on how to do them. 1. Organize saved groups into folders 2. Organize saved groups into a structured menu. Right now, all saved groups are in a single menu. 3. Be able to add separators (text or simple divider line) to separate the various items in the menu. Thanks.

mouse pointer issue in Groupy Stardock Forums

Not sure if this is happening with other users but, in chrome when I open a new window (and I have groupy automatic grouping enabled for Chrome), the mouse pointer is offset so that when I click the click happens below the mouse pointer and not at the tip of the cursor arrow. This happens only when Groupy is enabled. Any solution?

Tiles is not showing Microsoft store app correctly. I pick the Microsoft Universal app from 'pick running app', but Tiles shows all Universal apps for example calculator, etc. I want to show only the universal apps I'm interested in and no other universal apps.

Reply to Send window to an existing group in Groupy Stardock Forums

What you said is true and it will work only if the Word and Excel grouped windows are on top, but if those grouped windows are below 3 other windows then dragging PowerPoint window will not work. In this case, I have to bring the Word and Excel windows to the front and then drag PowerPoint window on top of that group. What I'm saying is on the PowerPoint window there are 3 dots for Groupy application and there should be an option to add PowerPoint window to the the Word and Exce

Send window to an existing group in Groupy Stardock Forums

Let's say, I have a Word document and an Excel file open and combined these two windows in a group. Now, if I open a PowerPoint file then the PowerPoint window will open on top of the existing windows. Now, if I want to add this PowerPoint window to the group containing the Word document and Excel file, I have to either minimize PowerPoint window or maximize either Word document or Excel file and then on the group of Word and Excel windows I have to click the 3 dots and then add PowerPoint wi

I have tab option disabled., but option number 2 (activate Tiles on bump at screen edge) is not working for me.

Reply to Tiles issues in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

OK, the problem is I can't autohide if I call it up using a shortcut key and the tab is blocking window behind it, so I would propose these options. 1. The tab is blocking information/window behind it and I cannot click anything behind the tab, so make (or give the user option in settings) to adjust the width of the tab. I prefer the tab width to be a thin line along the screen edge so it does not block anything. I don't need a tab with text 'Tiles' and an icon which blocks informatio

Reply to Tiles issues in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

No I did not. This is the first time I ever installed Tiles and if I have to purge and reinstall for a first install then there is something wrong with the app. Plus, I don't like that at least 2/3rd of the time I'm asked to purge and reinstall when I report a problem. If other users are having the same issues and they comment here then maybe the issues will get fixed.

Reply to Tiles issues in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Thanks Basj and Neil. I've done many, many tests and I can confirm that auto hide does not work on my end. I call up Tiles using hotkey and I have to press the hotkey again in order to hide Tiles...Tiles does not auto hide on its own when I move the mouse away from it or click on another window. Regarding the tab - right now the tab is shown all the time. Can the tab be auto hidden and called up on mouse hover over the edge where the tab is auto hidden?

Tiles issues in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hello, I'm using the latest beta of Tiles. I noticed a couple of issues. Can you please fix them in the next release? 1. Auto hide is not working even though I check the setting 'hide tiles when not in use'. Basically, I activate the Tiles sidebar and it shows, but after I click a tile or click outside the Tiles sidebar the Tiles sidebar is not hiding. There should also be an auto hide feature where after some configured time Tiles sidebar should hide in addition to hiding aut

Cursor customization lost in CursorFX Stardock Forums

Hello, I'm using latest CursorFX. I customized the selected cursor (changed color, size, etc.), but when I restarted my computer the customizations were lost. Is there a way to: 1. Make customizations persistent forever i.e., make CursorFX keep my customizations forever until I change them or change to a different cursor? 2. Export currently selected cursor settings so I can reimport into CursorFX in case customizations are lost again? 3. For the currently sele

Need more pre-built cursors in CursorFX Stardock Forums

Hi, I think it would be great if Stardock can provide many more pre-built cursors. The current selection in CursorFx is limited. Now, before you say go to WinCustomize, I did and signed up for free membership which it said I would get some 9 or 12 downloads but, I downloaded 4 CursorFX pre-built cursors and WinCustomize now says I reached download limit. Thanks.

This happened just now. After I switched from secondary to primary (seamless switching, not KVM mode), mouse cursor on primary computer disappeared/became invisible. Furthermore, when I clicked the buttons on the mouse nothing happened. Any suggestions why it happened, how I can prevent this in future, and if it happens how I can recover from it? Thanks.
