Description Bronson 2019-06-07 23:41:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Icon only task manager needs an option to not group applications by default. Currently it forces groups on the user, an the only way to fix it is to middle mouse each application as you open them.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0
Qt Version: 5.12.3

Without visible labels, it would be impossible to tell running instances apart when there's no grouping. Can you explain your use case for not wanting groups?
Comment 2 Bronson 2019-06-09 01:59:26 UTC 
I find its much easier to work with the icon manager ungrouped. I know which is which by a simple mouse over and the order it was opened.
I find it much easier than mousing over a group, then having to mouse over the next item on the popup.
