I’m using the internal display and 2 external monitors. One external monitor is connected via DVI and the second is connected via HDMI.
The setup looks like this:
External 1 External 2
Internal
Sometimes after re-connecting the monitors, the Spaces from the external monitors are swapped. So all Spaces from External 1 are now on the right monitor and all Spaces from External 2 are on the left monitor.
I haven’t figured out why and when this happens and nothing helps, not even a reboot.
I have to manually rearrange everything, which - as you can image - is quite annoying.
It can record a spaces configuration (meaning which monitor spaces are on), and will try to move the spaces back to that configuration when you re-activate a configuration.
I’m using Mavericks, not Yosemite, so I don’t know, if the post you referenced applies to me.
I’ll use the Display Spaces Manager app to save my config and will try to restore it the next time it happens. The strange thing is that this problem only occures sporadically, so I cannot just reproduce it, but have to wait until it happens again. But I’ll let you know the outcome.
It just happened again and I tried to use your DisplaySpacesManager tool to restore my Spaces.
Unfortunately it messed it up even more. I now have 5 on my left external monitor and 7 on the right external monitor and they are all mixed up.
I can’t select the output of your utility, so I took a screenshot.
Ah sorry for the delay. The utility tried to move the spaces, but failed to do so in some cases.
I’m not sure why that is, but it is a somewhat flawed approach anyway, in that the space you are currently on cannot be moved.
I will look at some small changes to fix that, and I will try to add better logging so I can see better what goes wrong. I’ll try to get a new revision out soon.
