Hello and thanks for this nice tool.

I'm attempting to use Applicationize for Google Sheets and Google Docs.

The way Applicationize works, I'm forced to mostly work with a single document, or a single spreadsheet. It really does not work correctly with multiple documents.

When attempting to work with two separate spreadsheets, I cannot see the separate windows listed within the Window menu for the app. The Window menu is always empty, and Window menu commands such as "Bring All to front" fail / do nothing.

Instead, I have to go back into Chrome and hunt through all my Chrome windows trying to sort it out over there. I do not want to do that in Chrome, because that is the whole reason I am using Applicationize in the first place -- so I don't have to do that.

Additionally, you cannot right click on the App to see the list of windows.

I hope this can be resolved when the App is hosted again.

Thanks

Hi @Zuldra,
Thanks for reporting this issue.

It appears that this is a bug in the implementation of Chrome Packaged Apps by the Chrome development team. Calling chrome.app.window.create() should add the additional window to the "Window" menu of the applicationized app on Mac, but it appears that this has not been implemented. To be honest, the whole Chrome App implementation on Mac is buggy - if you notice, it's not possible to Command + Tab back to Chrome from the applicationized app. Seems like it has only been "half-implemented".

I could not find any bug report for this behavior on the Internet but I do not think that Chrome Apps have any API to control the Window item list.
