Acrobat sandboxing prevented reliable grouping so it had to be excluded.

Had the same Excel jumping problem in Excel 2016 on 1.02, just installed 1.10 ... and fingers crossed it hasn't had a problem in 10 mins.

Almost exclusively occurred with big Excel files, but as you say was somewhat random when it occurred (usually when I trusted it enough to stop watching

Quoting basj,

BTW, I just got notified that a new version of Groupy is due very soon. Which address a lot of things including excel.

 

Hi basj

Were you referring to v1.10 which was just released as final non-beta?

It still has the same problem with Excel protected view. Don't know yet about the focus jumping problem.

 

But it introduces a new bug with Powerpoint files in protected view. Error message upon opening: 

Microsoft PowerPoint We're sorry, something went wrong that might rnake PowerPoint unstable. Please save your presentations and restart PowerPoint

Have to use Task Manager to close Powerpoint.

The latest should be 1.11

Hello,

Did you check what the version installed in Groupy itself? (3 dot menu -> setting -> Groupy->About). If it still version 1.10 please turn on Automatically check for updates. Try that and let us know.

Groupy 1.1 is totally unusable with Powerpoint in protected mode ... until v1.11 is available I have no choice but to revert to v1.02.

Unfortunately in testing we were unable to reproduce any issues with Powerpoint in protected mode.  As such 1.11 is liable to remain an issue for you.

That's strange that you can't reproduce the issue. I have the exact same error message on 2 different PCs, one running Windows 8.1 and the other Windows 10, when I open a Powerpoint file that is attached to an email in Outlook or from a network shared folder. 

 

Any other users encountering this problem?

I have Excel from Office365.

Groupy does not work well at all with Excel. Using Shift+Drag to form groups is fine.

But using the + button to add another excel file does not work.

  1. A blank excel file opens in the group.
  2. Then the desired excel file opens in a new window. It then has to be grouped manually.
  3. All this is accompanied by a psychedelic resizing of multiple windows which gives the user a headache.

Please do sort this out.

Hello,

Well it work well on my system.

Did you set Excel to auto group? Please view below video. https://youtu.be/YHCs5lDqnFs

Are we to understand that your only issue with how it works is this - the 'psychedelic resizing'?

Thanks that works partly.

Two points.

1. In the video, File>Open from an existing workbook opens the new excel and adds to group. This works the same way for me now.

However, in the video, using the + sign opens a new tab in the File>Open view. For me it opens with a blank workbook. So, to open the desired workbook by using +, there is now another step required, of going to the new blank workbook and then File>Open

2. The "psychedelic resizing" has a pattern. If the Group window is in window (non maximised) mode when a new tab is opened, there is no problem and the opening is smooth.

But if it is maximised when a new window is opened, each window first opens in the window mode and then resizes to maximum. That causes the sequence of resizings that I was referring to. 

Are these bugs or am I missing something?

Not at all. Please see points 1 and 2 of my post.

Though the resizing is a problem by itself. There is a pattern though; refer my point 2 in the above post.

It still has the same problem with Excel protected view. Don't know yet about the focus jumping problem. 

But it introduces a new bug with PowerPoint files in protected view. Error message upon opening: 

By default, MS Office apps have protected view(s) on from anything that comes from 'the Internet'.  

With my test below, I could not reproduce what you are seeing

If I do not have the conditions correct, what you have, I need to know what I am missing.

Here what happening in my system.

Start Excel. you will get list of recent open file list. If you click any from the list that file will open.

if you want to open a new file, you can simply file -> open a file then a new tab open to the left of your last open files. both file are in group.

As long as you have that 3 dot menu set to automatically group excel.
