Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#8 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 15:56:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#8 DisplayFusion Ah, I see what's happening there. The taskbar buttons group by process path and AppID I believe. Since your shortcut is to a .cmd file, the actual process path will be different after it launches. I will double-check on that though ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#7 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 08:55:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#7 DisplayFusion So, I just installed the latest beta (version 2) on my work machine with a second taskbar. I used 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to get the process app id from the previously mentioned Atom editor and saved it. I can confirm that saving the process app id now does work. But I can't confirm that this setting does anything. What I expected to see was that there wouldn't appear an second icon beside the pinned Atom icon (see screenshot).

The documentation doesn't mention anything about how this setting exactly works. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#6 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 13:09:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#6 DisplayFusion The fix was implemented in 8.0 Beta 1 ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#5 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 08:51:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-taskbar-shortcuts-edit-application-shortcut-process-app-id/?ID=dbe29c8e-f906-4e50-86cc-e325d6382659#5 DisplayFusion @Keith Was this part of the beta from v8.0 or included in later released v7.3.2 ?

The documentation is "out-dated" for the Edit Application Shortcut window and missing information about this setting.

To my knowledge it's used to group applications under a string known as the application id or AppId. But when I tried to set it, it doesn't remember the setting and next time I open the window the setting is empty again.

What I want to archive is to make a shortcut for Atom editor. The problem with Atom is that for every new version (which is almost every week) they make a new folder, which changes the shortcut location. So the previous shortcut is opening an outdated version of Atom, until they even remove the old folders, in which case the shortcut doesn't work anymore. To work around this, they have provided a command file which always opens the latest Atom. Now I wanted to use the AppId to group Atom onto my command shortcut, but this doesn't work.
