You can select any type of executable or extension files. Do note however that if the shortcuts are moved, the application can no longer launch those applications and you will have to re-edit your group. Allow open-all shortcuts - When you launch the group to try to launch an app, you have the option to launch all the executables inside the group.
To enable this feature, this checkbox has to be checked and the group has to be saved. Clicking on them will "select" them and they would have a permanent background that is darker than the rest of the entries.
This will be needed to set Working Directories and Arguments. Working Directory - Once you have selected an item, this textbox and the choose folder beside it will be enabled. Here you can change what working directory the application starts with. This may be required for some applications. By default for older groups, the working directory is the directory of the taskbar groups application.
You can also manually set a loation through the Select Directory button. Arguments - Once you have selected an item, this textbox is enabled and you can type any launch arguments that you would like to include with the application on launch. Opacity - Here you can select how transparent you want the background of your application to be. Entry Name - Whenever you add an application, the entry will have the text assumed from the name of the application without the extension at the end.
This can be changed if you select the text directly and you can type into field. The character limit here is 27 characters. With fetching the icons of executables, the application will directly take the icon of the executable.
With extensions, it works a little bit different. The application will try to fix the icon location for the extension to see if that exists anywhere on the system and use that if possible.
If not, then the application would try to use the icon of the target file of that extension. On top of this, this works a bit differently for Microsoft App Store extensions. These extensions don't contain any sort of target path nor icon location.
Here the application will try to fetch the image from the system folder where these icons are stored using the ID of the application grabbed from the extension. Here it is loaded up locally as to not waste resources to recreate the icon every time. The icon cache can be regenerated by simply saving the group again through the main application.
When you open a group once its created through the shortcut provided, there are a list of hotkeys to make the program more easily usable. Top row numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 - Opens the shortcuts at those positions respective from In the config folder, you will have the data regarding each group that you have created. This is the icon cache that comes with the folder.
All icons of the shortcuts that you added are added into that cache. How would you go about doing this for your own application? Are the icons automatically grouped by process, or can you force Windows to group different processes too? I've been Googling for this but I'm not quite sure what it is called. In some cases, it is sufficient to rely on the internal AppUserModelID assigned to a process by the system. However, an application that owns multiple processes or an application that is running in a host process might need to explicitly identify itself so that it can group its otherwise disparate windows under a single taskbar button and control the contents of that application's Jump List.
