Complete ungroup items

maxoku 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 4
Even if item are not next to each other etc. they are still in the same group. That might force the same icon for the rest of items and move the pinned item position to the most right item on exit/restart. But if I change group for the rest of item (random group with right click drag or TI) then they gets different icon and don't move the pinned item.
All I'd like is that new item automatically be moved to different group when they're being created. Preferably both globally and separately for each application.

This happens if you choose to hide labels, and is related to your previous post. See my answer there.

move the pinned item position to the most right item on exit/restart

This happens because pinned items are "grouped" to their instances by AppId. If you don't want the two to be related (so that the pinned items won't disappear when an instance is running), use "Don't group pinned items".

"This happens if you choose to hide labels"

I know that. But icons are restored after changing AppId.

"This happens because pinned items are "grouped" to their instances by AppId."

I know that, that's why I don't want them to have the same AppId.

"use "Don't group pinned items"."

I know that also, but that option doesn't fit to me, cuz I don't want to have the additional item in taskbar for it. I'd like to have the main window item in the same place when the pinned one is.

(By the way, how are quoting?)

So you want the taskbar to behave as if every item has a different AppId, and still not show the related pinned item if the program is running. What you're asking to do is tricky, and will require a lot of time and research, which I don't plan to invest. I know that because I had more trivial issues related to pinned items, which were quite time consuming to fix to fit the tweaker's options. Remember that explorer is not open source, the tweaker is expected to work on every build from Windows 7 to the latest Windows 10, and many things are implemented with a bit of creativity and hacks.

Ok. Thanks for your response. I hope you'll change your mind one day and find a way.
