This is a desktop shortcut icon, can be opened normally

This is the icon's properties page

Other types of shortcut icons work fine e.g.

[Feature Request] Add proper version information

I am helping at a security tool called VulnDetect (it detects what applications you have installed and warns you if there are known vulnerabilities). For VulnDetect I also programmed a little tool, that extracts the version information stored in applications. Screenshsot: https://vulndetect.org/topic/260/toolbox-for-vulndetect

If I extract the version info from TaskbarGroups, then I get:

File name and path:     D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\_TaskbarGroups\TaskbarGroups.exe
Product Name:           main
Internal Name:          TaskbarGroups.exe
Original Filename:      TaskbarGroups.exe

File Description:       main
Company:                
Legal Copyright:        Copyright ©  2020
Legal Trademarks:       
Comments:               

File Version String:    1.0.0.0
File Version:           1.0.0.0
Product Version String: 1.0.0.0
Product Version:        1.0.0.0

The version number is totally wrong, it should be 0.1.4. Also the Product Name should be altered (to TaskbarGroups). The other fields in the second block like File Description and Company) should also be filled.

Reason

With the filled version information I can add TaskbarGroups to the VulnDetect database. And also other update managers (like SUMo) benefit from the correct version info.

[Bug] Initial release has no EXE icon

Sorry to open 3 issues one after the other. I noticed that the EXE icon is a generic one. Would it be possible to add an icon to it?

If you like, I can make one (probably even add it using Resource Hacker).

Provided Icon fails to render when `Use Small Taskbar Buttons` option in windows is on

I've been playing around with this and love that there is a newer option to replace the aging and unsupported options like Bins. Unfortunately, I exclusively use the Use Small Taskbar Buttons option and I can't get the provided icons to display in this mode. They display fine in normal size button mode but as soon as I toggle on Small Buttons, every group goes to the default square with a plus sign icon, making it impossible to tell which group is what.

When clicking on the icon in the taskbar, it opens the TaskbarGroups.exe instead of the shortcuts.

When I click on any 1 of the 3 group icons I have made and pinned, they open the shortcuts very briefly and then close. After they close, the TaskbarGroups.exe applet opens up.

I have attached a video as proof. Video Of Issue

Opened application does not show icon

Hi, whatever app I open from the taskbar groups, it is missing the icon which is annoying since its hard to differentiate when multiple apps are opened.
