Saving a group does not preserve the 'Pin Groupy Tabs' setting of the Saved group

from Stardock Forums

Hi,
 Just acquired groupy2 and loving all the options.
But after few weeks, now found few issues.
(I'll create separate Topics per issue)

Saving a group does not preserve the 'Pin Groupy Tabs' setting of the Saved group.

(Observer in all OneNote groups and all Chrome groups)

After the  'Pin Groupy Tabs' setting  is activated and then the group setup is saved.
When restarting the saved group,  the  'Pin Groupy Tabs' setting is lost
  

Regards, Martin

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details on your issue.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe to get this information.
  2. Groupy full version number.
  3. Post a screenshot showing the saved pin tabs setting and what appear after restarting.
  4. Copy and paste your saved Groupy group.

Thank you,
Basj,

From what I know, and if I understand your situation properly, those pinned tabs are chrome tabs, yes? I don't think Groupy saved those tabs. HOwever, to be sure, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience. Thank you.

Thanks for the info.
Indeed, as indicated, this is about  Chrome  Pinned tabs

Elsewhere in Chrome Pin info i found: 
    Note: Pinned tabs can be lost if multiple Chrome windows are open and the window containing the pinned tabs is not the last one closed. 

So it may be difficult for   groupy  to handle this ...

I've reproduced and logged this for review.

It would require Chrome to provide a mechanism for us to a) detect a tab is pinned and b ) be able to flag that something should be considered pinned when opened from the command line.  Neither of these things exist currently.
