V0.90 Jump lists and MS Office 2010

from Stardock Forums

Just installed V0.90 beta with W7 style Start menu. I think your definitely on the right track to fix a major W8 flaw. I've noticed jump lists on several of my programs (Foxit PDF, Quicken) work (THANK YOU), but none on MS Office 2010 products. Didn't know if this was an issue with Start 8, or MS office. I see that jump lists on items in the taskbar (including Office icons) do work in W8.

It may be an issue with the shortcuts used by Office.  Did you pin a shortcut to the applications, or are they showing as recently used applications?

Thanks for the reply - I think I may see the issue. I had PowerPoint (and some others) pinned to the taskbar and also to Start8. The jump lists I'm seeing on the taskbar don't show up in Start8. When I unpinned from the taskbar, and then unpinned and re-pinned to Start8, the jump lists showed up in Start8. When I reversed (unpin from Start8, pin to taskber, pin to Start8) the jump list in Start8 again disappeared.

My other item I think is a feature request to be able to pin a jump list item in a Start8 pinned program.
