Hi,
I have migrated from the old TaskbarGroup app, and deleted old .dll files on Windows 10.
It gives me an error when launching a group that has some standard MS apps in it, specifically complains about Snipping Tool. After removing that app from the group, the group operates as expected.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hi, I've been using the Alpha version since it was released and I've had no bug issues with it so far. The only feedback I have is that I don't like the profile folder dependency. I much preferred that all the files needed to preserve the groups were stored in the root folder that the executable was stored in.
Can this be an option to have one or the other.
My system had to be reinstalled over the weekend and I lost all the group settings that were stored on the c:, my Taskbar executable is stored on a separate data drive and had all the dependent files been in the same location I would not have had to recreate the groups.
Can you please consider this feature as an option? I love all the other improvements and the single executable.
The tool tip works great, editing the display name is flawless and very well implemented.
Thanks for reading
Hi, when you add a new shortcut to a group, the previous last one should have both arrows enabled because it's not the new last one item, but it doesn't happen that:
As you can see, last one and previous last one can't be moved below.
Could you add an option to follow the OS theme?
Hi! Another suggestion, some programs get an incorrect icon for some reason, while others get the correct but it would be better to have a customized icon (for example, I have an excel file which will get the Excel icon, but I would like to have an icon more related to the file itself).
I can manually replace the icons on the folder, but after the next time editing the group they will get automatically replaced.
Hi, great work with the fork! Thanks for taking the time to make it work and be more stable. 🙏
If possible, it would be great to have an option to set the border radius. This way we can make it fit better with win11's UI.
As an example, here's the new System Tray:
Allow setting of hover color manually rather than automatically for finer control.
Be able to relink applications if they move directories without having to re-add it back into the group (includes icons)
I have a folder on a drive that has lots of portable apps and programs in it, well over 100, each in their own subfolder. More than a few of those apps I have multiple versions of, like stable and βeta and ɒlpha releases. To differentiate them I usually make 2 folders, one with the app name and a second with the app name followed by βeta, or ɒlpha, or the like. Example:
OBS Studio
OBS Studio βeta
However, any shortcut that has βeta or even ɒlpha in either the path or working directory throws an exception in TBG, and, furthermore, even if you select continue, The shortcut is not loaded into the group.
Incidentally, the same programs can be pinned to the taskbar directly and have 0 issues running, and Windows has 0 issues navigating to these folders with special characters. This also leads to the workaround I post below.
Windows 10 19043.1081 and newer, and Windows 11 22000.71 and 22000.100
All .NET runtimes and VCRedist updated regularly.
Windows Defender only AV used with RTS.
https://github.com/ModernFlyouts-Community/ModernFlyouts used with all systems.
TBG should create the group without an error and the application should run normally from its shortcut and from teh TBG group shortcut.
Upon attempting to add a shortcut to TBG with a special character in the path, the following error is thrown:

If you don't use a shortcut to the app, but select the executable itself from the folder, no error is thrown, and the resulting shortcut created in your group works perfectly fine - even with a special character in the path, and even with a special character in the name, as well.
Need to add a system for easily translating into different languages. Any ideas are currently welcome. This will be on low priority until other issues are sorted out.
This is pretty much the same issue as #9... the old (current) version of TaskbarGroups works perfectly but I can't get any shortcuts on this version to open. Also, when opening anything to do with the program (the .exe itself, shortcuts, etc) it always opens a Security Warning window. Using Windows 10.
Edit: Looking at Task Manager when opening a shortcut; it opens for a split second running only at 40 KB and immediately turns off (no output on screen whatsoever).
Need to fix up category's XML serialization method.
Seems a bit wonky right now, and I want to simplify it with a few {get; set;} along with default values there.
The current implementation does seem a bit hacky.
It would be great to have an option to change the icon size. The icons are smaller than the ones on the taskbar and it would not ba a problem if they where the same size, but the possibility would be nice. also the folder icon you set for the shortcut is also smaller than the taskbar icons.
Im not sure if its related but i have a 2560x1600 resolution and i use 110% scaling.
When I right-click on a pinned group and select "edit group," this error message always appears: "The editor has moved since the last time you've used it. Reopen it for it to relink the shortcut needed to use this feature!"
So I removed all my shortcuts from start and added them again. But the error still appears. I also switched to portable and switched back. I killed tasbar.groups.exe and taskbar goups background.exe . I did a restart of my win 11.

Current possible issues
Hi,
this is a great project, thanks for that.
I have some entries that are the same program starting other applications, and as of now, they all get the same icon. It would be great if the MD5 hash used to name the icon png file for the application would include the arguments in the creation of the hash, so there are separate icons when the same program is using different arguments.
In this case, I have a taskbar group that launches Microsoft Office apps, and when an app (Excel) I launched from there tries to open a document file that I direct it to, Avast Antivirus believes it is TaskbarGroups trying to change my file and balks.
How about group categories? If we can group the groups into categories it would be possible to create a single icon that opens multiple groups of apps. Less clutter on the taskbar. Personally I don't mind the apps opening the original thumbnails because that allows me to quickly assess what's actually running and what is not running. Functionality I'm envisioning would look similar to the old Quick Launch. The difference would be that each line of text (the categories) would open a group bar of icons.
I think this would be much easier to implement than hiding the native icons would help resolve the issue of using up space on the taskbar, while still allowing for "at a glace" evaluation of how many programs are truly running.
Hi, I'm using Taskbargroup a lot. A good idea would be to add the "drag and drop" function to:
(1) Add a shortcut to a group, directly on the taskbar.
(2) Sort the icons of a group directly from the taskbar.
Thank you very much

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Now, any time I try editing that group, the application crashes. Might be the same issue as #18
Current behavior: Opening a shortcut from a taskbar group opens that application, creating taskbar icon outside of that group. Ideally, the icon would stay inside the group, and be accessible from there. The taskbar group should be the main place to interact with that application from the taskbar.
My personal use case: I have a benchmarks group. There are four applications in the group and I open all of them. Now there are four additional icons including the benchmark group icon. In effect this really just added one more icon to my taskbar as opposed to keeping it organized. The preferred behavior would be that the applications "live" inside the taskbar group and and interaction with the application would be handled within the group itself. So if I open cinbench, hwinfo, xtu and 3dmark, they'd all be in the benchmark group without additional icons cluttering the taskbar.
Additionally, showing the little dot underneath to specify if the application is open along with the longer dash to specify if the current application is active would be icing on the cake.
From my understanding of this app, it's really just a small window that pops up when you click on the taskbar icon. I'm not sure the work it'd take to reconfigure the taskbar groups to actually hold the taskbar icons as opposed to shortcuts of them, but that would be the ideal way this application would work.
Hi, @PikeNote
I just ran into this, and I'm not sure how long it has been happening, as I've not had to change my groups in quite a while.
One of my programs recently had an update where the icon had changed, but the group with that program in it still used old icon. I tried removing the program from the group, then adding it back in and the new icon shows, but the group icon is still using the old one.
I then deleted the group entirely, and created a new group, but instead of adding the first four items in the group as a group icon in order, it reversed the order. I then deleted that group and created a new group, added the first four items in the group in reverse order, and the group icon is now as I want it.
However, when pinning it to the taskbar, it still shows the reverse order.
Here are some screenshots to illustrate.
I also tried to clear all pinned items on the taskbar, in case it was a left over icon, and rebooted, but it is definitely the app creating an icon out of the added apps that is reverse if what it normally does.
I'll try creating the same group with the old 0.2.2.0 release next.
Another issue here is that sometimes (and randomly) the shortcut overlay icon is not being stripped. I have all the shortcuts to the apps in this group in a single location, some are from installed programs in \Program Files / \Programs Files (X86) and some from portable programs with extracted .ZIP files in a \Programs folder on a separate drive - and it's completely random in removing the overlay, with some from each group. Note that this group does not use any Microsoft Store apps, only manually installed and manually extracted apps.

I think this version is one of the ones you posted as a fix to someone else's problem in one of the issues, but I'm not 100% sure which one it is...
Hi, I've tried to add the shortcut for ScreenToGif (installed version) but I got this error:
It says that access denied. I thought it could be because the main executable is placed on Program files folder, but there are other shortcuts that have their main executable on that folder and doesn't give any error...

Hi! For a while I've been using a modificated version of this program were I included a way to add a shortcut to open all shortcuts of the same group, and I found it very useful, so I think would be great if that could be added in a proper way.
My way of adding was that if the shortcut of the group is added to the same group, when clicking on it it will open all shortcuts instead of opening the same group for a second time. You can check my implementation if you want in my modifications branch, specially in this commit (but I think there are more commits after that have bugfixing): BanCrash@557ab48 ,but like I've said this was badly done and I'm sure there is a better way to do this.
Please make an installer (setup) like other apps.
First, thank you for your hard work on this project. I have been following your updates and was very excited about the release.
Unfortunately, I am unable to change the icons of existing entries/programs from old version 0.2.1. I am able to select them using the file selector or add them through drag and drop, but they are not saved. Interestingly, when I create a new entry, it works without any problems using the same file. I have also tried running the Taskbar.Groups as admin, but that did not help.
I am running Windows 11.
Open up a secondary issue for the suggestion of grid pattern layout just to keep it organized.

Provide better error catching when something is not found.
Make sure no major exceptions are thrown and the program crashing or bugging out in ways they are not supposed to.
Getting a virus alert thru Avast.
I have a shortcut that opens "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe".
For some reason, when I try to add this shortcut to a group, it gives me an error saying that "C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe" doesn't exist.
The path in my shortcut goes through the "Program Files" folder so idk why it's even looking in "Program Files (x86)".
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

What do you think about adding that when you left click on the taskbar icon it will open the settings?
I replaced the old exe file with the new one and started the app. Obviously the shortcuts are away because the storage is somewhere else. The config works fine and I also could set up the shortcut. However after I pinned the shortcut in the taskbar and tried to start the application, the small window with the icons doesn't show up. I clicked more than 5 times but still nothing comes.
Currently, the App UI and group icons appear blurry on a high DPI screen such as 3840x2160.
Trying to adjust the program to use High DPI Scaling Override in Application mode makes the text look better, but the app icons are small in the UI and large in the taskbar group.
This exact issue was also written for the original version of Taskbar Groups, and a fix was already implemented for it and a beta build created. However, it's built on the original version of TG, and as such is missing the QoL improvements of this new version (I can't add WindowsApps). Would it be possible to add some High DPI Scaling options in the new version?
I can add program shortcuts just fine. But when I try to add any folder shortcut or symbolic link, I get the same error.
I even copied the shortcuts to C:\Users\Hero\AppData\Roaming\Jack Schierbeck\taskbar-groups\Shortcuts
