Yes, of course, we're aware of this menu. The issue is not of functionality but of ease of use/convenience. What we're proposing is that there should be an x in the upper-right that closes the window group. To use the existing method, here are the steps required: Click on the 3 dots menu Read/scan through 11 menu items looking for the one that closes all windows. Depending on how many tabs are open in the window, this menu may o

Did you estimate it? If you're following agile methodology, this can't be more than a 1 or 2 point story.
Have you estimated the work effort to add a close button?
I completely agree with this suggestion. It's completely unnecessary to force users to take extra steps when closing a group can be so much easier. Unfortunately, Stardock doesn't listen to customer feedback, and apparently they don't have any competent UX people working on the Groupy. If they had any competent UX people working on the product, this would have been fixed a long time ago. Such a shame. :(
Any updates on this? It's been almost a half year.
Can you guys please add a Close button? Virtually all Windows apps have a Close button in the title bar. Why not Groupy? It can't be too hard since you already Close All menu option. Here, I'll even write the code for you: private void CloseAllButton { this.CloseAll() //put the real name of the function here. }

This has been a problem for a while. I have, for example, all command windows automatically group. But when I click on Groupy's + button to create a new instance, the new instance doesn't automatically group even though I have it set to automatically group. I can e-mail a screenshot if it helps.
I use Groupy, but it's very buggy and the customer support is poor. I was looking forward to Sets because Microsoft could probably do a better job than Stardock. Oh, well. :(
Can you add a 'Close All'' button to Groupy title bar? The functionality is there, but the UX could be better. Right now, to close all windows: 1) Click on the triple vertical dot button (not sure what it's called). 2) Search through the 9 menu options to find the "Close all windows in this group" menu and click it. That might not sound like a lot, but Step 2, could be completely removed if you just added a "Close All" button to the Groupy
Out of the blue, Visual Studio 2017 won't group. I did recently do a cumulative upgrade on VS2017; perhaps that has something to do with it? In any case, does anyone know how to get VS2017 to group?
Here's an example of it happening on my work PC. This is a completely different computer than my home PC. My work PC is locked down; I can't create an admin account as I don't have permission to do so. https://www.facebook.com/james.pragit/posts/10155785030708174?comment_id=10155785905298174&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D
No, I rebooted. How will following those steps assist you in fixing the bug?

I also reiterate that problem wasn't in the previous release of Groupy. This bug is something new with the last release.
Here's a screen shot of the bug in Paint. https://www.facebook.com/james.pragit/posts/10155785030708174?comment_id=10155785905298174&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D
I seriously doubt it has anything to do with corrupted system files. The most likely explanation is a bug in the code.
> To have it not covered please use the "Always place above" option in your groupy setting -> "Visuals" tab. It already is.
Both. Probably more apps.
Here's an example of the problem with File Explorer: 1) The ribbon is being clipped by the tabs 2) The tabs are non-responsive. If try to switch tabs by clicking on them, nothing happens. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155785029693174&set=a.10150585963513174.385317.534633173&type=3&theater
Wait - Am I to understand that you've had a major bug in Groupy for the past month and you didn't even bother trying to duplicate it until today?! In any case, try running multiple instances of Paint in the same group. You know, what Groupy is for?
@Stardock: It's been nearly a month since this was reported. How's progress going?
Sorry guys, but the new version you just released is worse than the previous version. I tend to run my windows maximized. I just installed the new version last night, but I'm already encountering severe bugs with Microsoft Paint. When I run Paint in maximized windows, parts of the tool bars are being cut off and don't always respond to clicks. Again, no offense, but this is so bad, I'm not sure how this got past testing or why it was released publicly.
