Bug Report (Groupy): Apps with tabs not saving correctly as a group.

Ex. PDF-XChange, Foxit PDF Editor

From my experience with saving groups with apps that support tabs natively, such as PDF-XChange and Foxit PDF Editor, it doesn't save said apps' tabs correctly, and only grabs the first instance. This is when using the "saved group" command from the top-bar menu.

However, I have been able to edit the .groupy file manually and add the files back in to make it work, it's rather irksome that I have to do this every time, however, since the normal way is broken.

Here's what my file looks like after it's been edited by me manually (functional):

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, from what I understand, if an application is having multiple tabs of its own and not a groupy tabs. That will not be automatically save since those tabs is not under "Groupy". You will need to move out those tabs from its default state and move it into Groupy tab individually, than save it.

Thank you.
