iandiv/AppGroup v1.6.0

App Group v1.6.0

on GitHub

New customization options, improved icon handling, better window detection, and fixes for group management and popup positioning.

New Features

Group Customization

• “Launch All” toggle (#92) – add a “Launch All” toggle in Settings
• Portable groups directory (#91) – store groups in the portable version's own directory instead of AppData\Local\AppGroup\Groups.

  Previous AppGroup versions may not display existing groups in the portable version because it uses a different directory. You can export your groups as an .agz file and import them into the portable version.

• Alphabetical sorting toggle (#88) – sort groups alphabetically; disables manual drag reordering

Drag and Drop

• Start Menu drag-and-drop support (#86) – drag programs directly from the Windows Start Menu

Improvements

• Modernized app icon – a fresh, updated look

• Remote icon caching – use stable hashes for remote icon cache filenames
• Shortcut icon caching – fix cache lookup in GetLnkIconAsync
• Improved UWP icon sizing and high-contrast Store icon support – thanks to @Eng-Mosab-Alhopishi
• Improved window detection by replacing FindWindow with FindAppGroupWindow to avoid matching other applications' windows – thanks to @Eng-Mosab-Alhopishi
• Packaged app launching stability – launch modern apps via explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\{AUMID} to prevent crashes – thanks to @Eng-Mosab-Alhopishi

Bug Fixes

• Fixed .url file shortcuts not displaying correctly in group icons (#85)
• Fixed popup positioning not scaling correctly when opened on a different monitor (#84)
• Fixed working directory issue (#79)
• Fixed inconsistent and tricky tooltips (#78)
• Fixed incorrect app positioning when content animation is disabled in settings (#75)
• Fixed groups with identical names appearing as one group with scrambled contents (#69)
