Saved Group: Open Multiple Sites in Chrome in App Mode

July 30, 2019 7:14:05 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I'm trying to get 3 YouTube URLs in Chrome in App Mode as shown on this screenshot:

https://cloudup.com/ccvmwLin2GB

Unfortunately, the URLs open separately and not in a group. Here's my Saved Group file:

[GroupyEntry1]
OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
RunElevated=0
NoPatternMatching=0
CommandLine= --app="https://www.youtube.com"
WorkingDirectory=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application
Target=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1

[GroupyEntry2]
OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
RunElevated=0
NoPatternMatching=0
CommandLine= --app="https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions"
WorkingDirectory=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application
Target=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1

[GroupyEntry3]
OwnerProcess=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
RunElevated=0
NoPatternMatching=0
CommandLine= --app="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL"
WorkingDirectory=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application
Target=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application\chrome.exe
MatchingClass=Chrome_WidgetWin_1

[Group]
GroupCount=3
GroupLeft=0
GroupTop=0
GroupRight=-430
GroupBottom=2031
GroupMax=1

I must not have the correct syntax for the CommandLine line. I also tried:

--new-window https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

and 

--app https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

with no avail. What could I do to get these to group as one?

Thanks in advance!

Just to add, I do have the Chrome background process to off, as suggested here:

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

It does work:

With this syntax:

You just need to ensure that no instance of Chrome is not already running - that includes going into task manager to make sure that is indeed the case:

If you don't, this indeed will happen:

Got it. It does indeed work if no other Chrome processes are running. 

Unfortunately, it means Chrome, Chrome Beta, Chrome Canary, etc. The SG won't work if any of those Chrome versions are running. 

Also, is there a way to start a SG at the start of the Window restart/boot?

I'd like to run 2 SG at a time, so I'm trying another SG with FireFox (while Chrome handles the YouTube ones). However, this SG does not work. What could be going on?

You can have a batch file run a saved group at startup.  For example:

ECHO OFF
C:\Users\YourWinAccountName\AppData\Roaming\Groupy\ChromeTest.groupy
Pause

The latest version of FireFox is another with grouping issues (and just the latest it seems).  It will not open in a saved group at all.

Got it. Do you know if current version of Edge works in SG?

It does indeed but Edge is moving to a Chromium architecture and it does not work (the betas).
