Grouping windows by hovering over tabs?

I just started using Groupy and I love it!

Instinctively for me, I was trying to drag one tab of a window to the tabs "area" of another group of windows, and Groupy would not add it to the group. Is this working as intended? -- so, grouping will occur in the title bar and the Windows tab regions, but not on the tabs that Groupy has created?

If I'm not missing something in the options, perhaps this could be a suggestion that might be considered in the future.

Relating to this issue, as I took a screenshot of the window with Snagit (10), one other minor setback for me seems to be that Snagit no longer views a window with Groupy running as an object to easily screenshot separately on its own. The tabs aren't recognized as the window as a whole... I'm sure it is an unintended occurrence of between two applications, but I thought I would mention it.

Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But I did not seeing the issue you mentioned above. I can merge a group just by grabbing the groupy bar and move it ontop of another group. Please refer to video I posted below.

Thanks for checking into this basj - I watched your video a few times to make sure I am seeing the same thing on my computer.

When you come from above a window, the very first area/region of the window - where Groupy's tabs are located, in that row - that is where I initially thought the mouse pointer needed to be to group tabs.

I took a screenshot of your video to clarify my question, and suggestion:

green and blue lines

The red horizontal line is where your mouse pointer is.
The area/region between the green and blue horizontal lines is where I was trying to group tabs when hovering over, as I would with tabs in Chrome for example.
It appears that below the blue horizontal line is where the mouse pointer needs to be for Groupy to combine tabs, is that correct?

Cheers!

Well I don't really into the details, I only need to see that "Merge these groups here" notice appear, before I release my mouse buttons.

and you can also turn on the "Use Whole window for group target" option for easier grouping.

Thank you,

I must have missed the "Use whole window for group target..." option.

Thanks for that tip, that might be what I am looking for - I will check it out.

Much appreciated!
