I don't think implementing this worth it. There are so many alternatives. Click and drag. Shift + right click. And you can use the "Mouse Button Control" advanced options if you need greater customization.
I can't say I've got a great infrastructure.
I have a window with lots of checkboxes, where I ran out of space.
Now I'm adding most of the new tweaker to what I call "advanced options".
But yes, it works, and it's probably good enough.

I'm open to suggestions :)

Done, thanks for the tip.
And thanks for the donation, I really appreciate it!
My point is that if it doesn't have those features, how is it going to shorten the process to hours versus days/weeks?
Perhaps it's possible to achieve with the Jumplist Extender program.

I can't say for sure, though, as I haven't tried it myself.
Mine is plain C.

You can as well write an application from scratch.
I don't see how the source code of the tweaker will help you.
The only relevant thing it provides is a readily injected DLL, which I'm not even sure is needed here.
It doesn't have code that manipulates either the jump list or the classic window menu.
I don't understand German, but according to your screenshot, you want this:



Can be achieved with Shift+Right click.
I remember seeing a similar program.

I've never used it, so I can't say how well it works, but seems like it does what you're asking.
Currently it's possible to choose whether to combine per AppId, but not per group. While this can be implemented, explorer will have to remember the settings of each group, and these settings will be temporary.

First of all, I believe that using Taskbar Inspector would be a quicker workaround than opening the tweaker and changing settings.


For a more straightforward solution...


1 is not too easy, as the taskbar is not designed to change the options of the tweaker. That's possible, of course, but I'd prefer not to implement that.

2 is also not too perfect, as thumbnails do not always correspond to taskbar buttons, e.g. when an application uses thumbnails to show it's tabs, like IE.


How about this:

I'll see if I can add an option to assign a mouse event to temporary decombining of a single item, e.g. you could set Ctrl+click to temporary decombine a group, and it will be recombined when the mouse leaves.
