Description Brenton Horne 2016-03-30 07:51:12 UTC
Now I saw the 5.6.1 changelog (https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.6.0-5.6.1-changelog.php) and it mentioned this fact which I soon noticed myself. Namely that applications can no longer be left ungrouped in the Icons-only task manager. I would like to know why, because I liked this feature. Without it, I'm considering switching to another desktop. 

Reproducible: Always

See https://phabricator.kde.org/D1240 for the rationale.

This is marked as fixed but I still can't ungroup in 5.7.4
Comment 4 Brenton Horne 2016-09-07 05:25:23 UTC
In 5.7.4 I can easily ungroup launchers. I am using Arch Linux, maybe it might be a packaging issue with your distro rasq37?
Comment 5 tguen 2016-09-07 05:51:21 UTC
Also Arch Linux, just reinstalled a couple days ago. The setting appears in the labeled task manager, but not icon-only.

This ticket was about a temporary one-release regression that removed the option of right-clicking an app and disabling grouping for it in the "More Actions" submenu. It came back and is also in 5.7.x, including in Icon Tasks.

Hi, there

I see you mention this was corrected but, as I've always used Kubuntu with updated Plasma (through official PPAs) and currently use an up-to-date KDE Neon User version I come to ask: this regression never got fixed, did it? Regular Task Manager has it but Icons-Only doesn't for this long, even over fresh installs. Am I missing something?
Comment 8 Eike Hein 2017-09-21 23:00:55 UTC
Maybe? It's definitely fixed, right-click anything on Icon-tasks and check More actions.

Oh, I see it and now realized I confused it a bit in 2 points: 1) I didn't always use Icons-Only, but definitely for more than a year and 2) I seem to have then mixed it (and this bug) in my head with regular Task Manager's *settings*, which I used previous than Icons-Only and has a drop-down for a general (not per-application) rule of grouping or not. I'm sorry for the mistake.

In the subject, is there a known bug/wish for similar option in Icons-Only's settings? If not, I guess I'll file one.

Thank you for clearing this up for me and for your attention. =)
