Groupy Bug - Feature Request

Groupy Bug - Feature Request

Hey guys, 

downloaded facebook messenger desktop app on my PC. however, i cant get it to connect with any of my groupys!? is that a facebook thing or can you make it work? 

also need two improvements

. hot key to invoke the Rename Tab on the right click menu
. move the Close all tabs on the right click menu down a few, we accidentally click that and everything closes!!
. ability to remember multiple google chrome profiles and the names of those tabbed profiles. 

Ive been asking for this for over a year! :)

can you please give groupy a little love! :)

hey another idea... be able to set the sizes of the groupy windows? 

like this extension here only for groupy:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/window-resizer/kkelicaakdanhinjdeammmilcgefonfh

be great to have each groupy window sets that auto resize and go to the right spots on the screen. 

and please, please.... 

ctrl+alt+Q -- that is not used at all in any program except a program called blender... so who cares.

We have added an option for the user to define the hotkey for rename tab in the next build.

Saved groups already remember window size.

yes. but  two things... sometimes you want to be able to resize the window to fit on different screens without having to save the preset. 

second... sometimes the windows get caught between two screens.. and with my case, i have my taskbar on the top. so sometimes the windows are unable to be grabbed because they are hiding under the taskbar. 

merely having the ability to, like the chrome extension, to have a field or in the dropdown menu (which i like the positioning better, looks great) maybe there you can put a resize x, y coordinates and or preset that we can save? 

just thoughts.

Hey guys, when will the next beta or final be released? 
also, any of the above items being addressed? 
the google chrome instances an naming convention solved would be great.

holy hot damn, looks like you figured out the chrome issues? 
super awesome. 

they don't load up in the same order.. but that's not me bitching just observing :)

what about sub menus? is that a bad idea?

Hi I'm new in using Groupy . I think it is a very useful tool. It doesn't work with WPS office? (Can't insert a new tab when dragging WPS office window on groupy).
thanks

i have a similar issue with facebook messenger (desktop version) and another desktop program i use (niftypm)... 

it's a good question, can we somehow, make inclusions on the groups and in tabs to include these types of programs.. because it is most likely THEIR developers that "forgot" to properly identify the header info in the code... does that make sense? so in essence, you have field in somewhere that you put the name in of the program WPS or facebook messenger.. and it get included in groups and or able to drag and group together?

 

make sense and is what i am saying make sense? thansk@!

Any luck on the hotkeys? This is a software that seems largely aimed at power users, and having hardcoded hotkeys is crippling for many of us - I see a lot of requests for this on the previous page. May I suggest customization options similar to Tidy Tabs by Nurgo Software? If we had features comparable to this, it might even eclipse tidy tabs, which I chose over Groupy largely because of the hotkeys and better customization options.

Additionally, one thing that I struggle with in Groupy 2 is that I don't want to see the tabs all the time, but when I choose to hide the tabs, if I'm using a tabs program like Chrome I'll often hit the Groupy tabs by accident instead of the Chrome tabs - because they pop down when you mouse close to them and they overlay a large portion of the program's tabs. Perhaps Groupy could either push the tabs down to show both, or implement a solution like tidy tabs does where the tabs are smaller and unobtrusive? You can also explicitly group windows by dragging the "window tab." 

Example 1 of 3, Tab Options 1:

Example 2 of 3, Tab Options 2 (fullscreen - can set these to appear from the left too. They have mouseover previews):

Example 3 of 3, Hotkeys:

A feature I would love to see that should of been in Groupy 2 was Skinning the custom tabs Via Windowblinds. Gotta make that happen! :D
