v1.2.0-unofficial

This is a small bugfix and stability release for the maintained hummbugg fork of Taskbar Groups.

Fixes

• Edit Group now opens as a true modal dialog
• Prevents multiple Edit Group windows from being opened simultaneously
• Added consistent ESC/cancel behavior for Edit Group

Runtime Requirement
Taskbar Groups targets Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Windows 11 normally already includes a newer compatible .NET Framework 4.x runtime, so no additional runtime installation is normally required.

If the application does not start on older or unsupported Windows versions, install the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 Runtime:

Windows ZIP Security Note
If the ZIP or extracted files appear blocked by Windows:

1. Right-click the ZIP
2. Select Properties
3. Check “Unblock”
4. Click Apply
5. Extract the ZIP

If the ZIP was already extracted before unblocking, recursively unblock all extracted files using PowerShell:

Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Path\To\TaskbarGroups" -Recurse -File | Unblock-File
