Hello,

I agree - it's frustrating to use the menu to close all the tabs when it's normal for an app that uses multiple windows have a single close button. The same goes with minimise/maximise buttons, users would expect an app/window to have this functionality.

So I just found this when checking out something else. I love the idea of Groupy, Its a way better version of a custom program I built.

However, the inability to minimize or maximize the group through a standard button is really annoying. I know I can double-click the bar or hit windows + down but this really windows design 101... include a way to maximize or minimize with the mouse.

I did just realize that hitting the minimize or maximize buttons applies to the whole group, but it wasn't something I thought to do before posting.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, but there is an option in groupy to color your tabs to any colors you like. Its under Groupy setting ->Visual -> How should the tabs look? and Click on the "Colors" dropdown button. Try it and see if it help you see the tabs better.

Thank you,

Please add a minimize button for the whole group.

This would make Groupy a far better and far usable app.

 

Thanks in advance  

 

Hello,

You do know that when you click the minimize button on the titlebar the whole group get minimize. No?

Maybe I'm new to this but the only minimise button I can see is for the individual programs I have grouped, and when I click it that is what happens.  Outlook gets minimised, or FileCenter gets minimised, or Edge gets minimised.  Every other program in the group stays large. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Also, how do I turn the group off?  

I Think its really work well and less annoying if confirmation box popup when clicking close button to close all tabs instead of closing one tab. I Know you can right click any tab and select close all in this group but this is time saving option

Clipper 87 on April 26 attached a photo and there is no minimise, maximise or close button on his pictured tab bar but you seem to be telling me that there is a group of these that should be on mine. 

Has this changed since his post on April 26 because my top tab bar looks just like his.  No minimise, maximise or close button on the top bar.  The one on the next level down just controls what is open in Edge, not the other applications I have grouped.

You are right. The minimise button does minimise them all but the close button as you say, doesn't. Sorry.

You are 

You are completely right: when you group AN APPLICATION.

He is probably referring to several applications. When a group consists of 3 different applications, the minimize button only applies to the application that is active.

Therefor this is a defect (well, a not programmed feature I guess).

I made several requests for groups concerning different apps. It seems that you just test groupy on same apps. Please start testing groupy with different apps, your eyes might get opened!

Put a close-X next to the three dotted menu button and all is solved.

Make it optional, maybe even include a minimize button because that is a much better and more logical user experience? Here an example of a close all button:
