[Feature Request] Automatically group Explorer's built-in tabs

from Stardock Forums

I've been using Groupy on several computers for a long time, and until recently, I used Explorer window grouping. But I finally had to disable it because I couldn't stand all the lag and freezing. It seems that the latest versions of Windows Explorer aren't optimized for running large numbers of processes.

I see a solution in disabling window grouping in Windows 11 and using the built-in tab support. One problem remains: Explorer constantly tries to open a new process and start adding new tabs to it. You can drag these tabs into a single process with your mouse, but it's inconvenient.

Is it possible to add the ability to automatically group Explorer's built-in tabs to Groupy?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But not really sure what you mean by this:

Is it possible to add the ability to automatically group Explorer's built-in tabs to Groupy?

I though, it is known that Groupy can replace Windows 11 Explorer tabs, when you turn on this option.

Perhaps you was referring to something else? If so, please elaborate.

Thank you,

This looks like exactly what I needed. Thanks.

I've been using Windows 11 for a while now, and I've disabled tabs in Explorer, using Groupy instead. Maybe because I wanted angular corners.

It's a pity that this option doesn't work in Windows 10.
