[QUOTE]It is now 14 YEARS later...


My apologies and thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I was troubleshooting multiple issues and had a 'Brain Burp' and confused this with a completely different post. I retract my rant with utmost embarrassment??? ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#11 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 18:14:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#11 DisplayFusion

I would still like to see this and am pretty sure it would take little effort.
In the meantime, I am STILL having to use a blank (or common) folder and adding a blank Icon - or Icon with a dash or slash on it. :x


This was fixed ages ago, not sure what you're on about. ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#10 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:23:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#10 DisplayFusion It is no 14 YEARS later...Promises, Promises!!!

the two settings from your post did not turn off by themselves. Shortcuts grouping was set to "Combine with taskbar icons" and Group buttons was set to Automatic (have changed it to Enabled after rebooting, just in case).
it looks like the PC just needed a reboot after the upgrade :) it is working OK now.
cheers ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#7 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 00:27:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#7 DisplayFusion There is a setting for it, though it would be weird if it turned itself on after the update. There are two settings you can check:
  • Right-click the DF taskbar, navigate to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Group Buttons > Enabled
  • Right-click the DF taskbar, navigate to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Shortcuts > Combine with Taskbar Buttons

If neither of the above two options help, please let me know :)

just picked up this old conversation about grouping the items with the running ones. this was working for me in 5.0.1 version but has stopped after installing the new 5.1 version. is there a setting that switches this functionality on/off?
thanks ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#5 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:13:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#5 DisplayFusion Sorry, my bad! We're still working on making the pinned items group with the running items.

The other issue with the grouped button size being different from the Windows taskbar (shown in his screen shot) is all fixed up though :) ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#4 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:27:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#4 DisplayFusion Is this the problem that he was talking about? I've updated to 4.0.1 Beta 7 and the programs are still not grouped with their pinned icons (Spotify and Outlook). ]]> RE: Grouping icons with pinned shortcuts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#3 Fri, 25 May 2012 20:27:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/grouping-icons-with-pinned-shortcuts/?ID=881d14c9-b938-47c6-bb81-8b31715f918d#3 DisplayFusion Just a quick follow up to let you know we've fixed this up in 4.0.1 Beta 6.

Also, this is nitpicking but I've noticed that icons, when grouped, appear much narrower than they do on the Windows 7 taskbar. I've included a picture of this. ]]>
