Feature request: Would be nice if I could drag instances of the same program separately

[Inhahe]

It often disappoints me that when I have multiple instances of the same program running, I can't drag them separately in the taskbar. For example, I can't separate them dragging one to a different place in the taskbar and not the other, and I can't change the order in which they appear next to each other. 

I thought StartAllBack 3.8 would solve that, because the version history said it added an option to never group tabs, but I have that option selected and it doesn't help.

Uncheck Combine taskbar buttons

I don't see a 'combine taskbar buttons' checkbox, but I do have a 'combine taskbar buttons' dropdown. In the dropdown I have 'never' selected, but it doesn't help the issue I'm talking about

I think he's asking to *ungroup* the icons.  I.e., this what SuperUser post is talking about: Any way to "ungroup" taskbar items in Windows?

Prior to Win11 24H2, you could combine StartAllBack and 7+TaskbarTweaker to get the desired behavior, but it no longer works in 24H2 because StartAllBack was forced to write a new taskbar from scratch, for that version, rather than relying on existing Windows code.

In 3.9, it's Combine taskbar buttons: Never group.

Can you also add "Never group, hide labels" option, please? I used this configuration in 7+TaskbarTweaker before taskbar update.
