automatically group windows from different applications

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

There is an option to automatically group windows from the same application, for example 'automatically group all notepad windows'. But, how can I automatically group windows from different applications. For example, when I open notepad, word, and excel, I want Groupy to group them automatically. How can it be done.

Thanks.

Check this option in settings and then hold the control key down when opening new apps.

Hello,
I don't think there is such a setting for that. But, when enabled, you can press ctrl while launching application to group into active application.

Thanks

Thanks and yes, I am aware of this setting but this works only if I am manually opening the apps. What I am looking for is when the apps are started automatically upon Windows login then they should be grouped. I have 3 apps that start automatically when I log in to Windows and I want to group those apps automatically.

You can open up this 3 application and group it. Save the group. And open up that save group upon Start up. Need some command in a batch file and put it in your Startup folder.

Thank you,

I am also hoping for the same feature. Or a new group setting that allows it to be launched on startup. Has there been any updates on this?

Have you tried all the suggestion above?

Groupy 2 has grouping rules which can be used to make specific applications group together always.
