How do you make Jumplist items survive application upgrades?
When I upgrade an application, I often lose all the Jumplist items that I manually set for it (in the taskbar).
I have "Store and display recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar" disabled. These Jumplist items were all manually added to taskbar shortcuts.
This regularly happens with shortcuts that were created by installers.
To (try to) be clever, I manually created shortcuts directly to the executables, and added those manually-created shortcuts to the taskbar. Then I added Jumplist items to each shortcut. Unfortunately, this does not help, and even with this technique, I still lose every Jumplist item I added when I update the application.
The worst offender, by far, is LibreOffice. Every time I have to update LibreOffice, I lose every Jumplist item I had manually added to the taskbar shortcuts for each LibreOffice application. This happens when I use shortcuts created by the LibreOffice installer and with manually created shortcuts. It's a PITA to recreate every Jumplist for every LibreOffice application every time they have an update.
Is there a trick to maintain Jumplist items when an application is upgraded?
