I have a 3x3 grid and like having my ‘home base’ in the middle. Have set up via the app to have most apps launch to that space, but seems like they’re launching in the top left grid position almost exclusively.
Using 0.9.125
Any way to to go to the middle grid position on startup?
Hmmmmmmmm!
Today, TS3 started working all of a sudden.
I did just update to Monterey 12.2.1, so maybe that fixed it.
Hard to tell
Nope! TS3 stopped working once again. No apparent reason.
Extremely unstable software
How do you change this?
Use the Terminal
Cautionary tale! It was all working minus the move window shortcut so I reinstalled TotalSpaces 3.0.9.125 in an attempt to get it working. It now sadly crashes on startup with the following. Is there an updated version to try?
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]'
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
abort() called
Update: restored to working state where it no longer crashes but move window hotkey is still not working
Steps taken:
I have just updated to Monterey 12.2.1 and now the “Move current window” has stopped working 
When I moved my personal data from another machine to my new M1 Mac using the Migration Assistant, the Apps settings became translucent and could not be deleted.
The old applications and Finder that I used on the machine before migration.
What should I do to delete them?
I’m having trouble because even if I delete the TotalSpaces3 configuration file, it won’t disappear.
Thank you so much for continuing to support TotalSpaces! I’ve also used this program for over 8 years and it’s absolutely critical to my workflow. I just bought TS3 and eagerly await Hot Corner support for Monterey.
Changing spaces is slow (Monterey on Intel). Can anything be done?
Glad to see TS is resurrecting. I had been using it for years before it stopped working (permanently disabling SIP is a no-go; temporarily is OK). So I haven’t been able to use it for another few years.
The one and only thing I need it to do is disable the animation on switching spaces. Mission Control is mostly fine, but the animation on desktop change is both disorienting and time consuming. The “Reduce motion” fade effect would be preferable only if it didn’t also affect the Mission Control/Exposé window sliding/scaling effects – for those I do find the animation useful.
So I was happy to to try this version 3 v0.9.125 on my Intel iMac (i9 9900K, 40 GiB RAM, Radeon Vega 48 8 GB, UHD secondary display only uses a single space, but the iMac 5K main display has 6 spaces (tried 6x1, 3x2, 2x3 arrangements)) using Monterey 12.2.1.
Both permissions granted, transitions disabled, notification graphic on desktop change disabled, and this command executed:
defaults write com.binaryage.TotalSpaces3 transitionSpeed -int 1000
Changed from desktops 2 through 5 repeatedly using 4 distinct keyboard shortcuts. It took maybe 15 seconds to press the keys 40 times. It took about 31 seconds total for the screen redraw to catch up.
So that’s almost 0.8s per switch, which feels laggy and slow.
I wonder if there’s any hope for this to improve?
I originally thought I’d very gladly pay to get rid of the animation without any other features. But actually the switching must also be “fast enough”. For now this doesn’t address my needs. 
Is there a way to remove the transitions from the overview grid?
I’m in the throes of setting up a new MBP (M1) with Monterey 12.2.
I have TotalSpaces3 installed (happily purchased).
The issue: I am unable at all to move between desktops, either with keystrokes or through the overview grid. Any advice? I’ve reinstalled TS3 a few times.
I’ve used virtual desktops for 30+ years; I’m not sure I can survive without TS. I was happily functioning with an 8x8 grid. That seems lost now.
Just realized the newest build of ts3 works on intel. The missing option from ts2 “show notification graphic on desktop change” is a big deal but it seems to be working pretty well otherwise.
Do you or does anybody else know if there’s been any more recent downloadable updates for TS3?
Or if there is a repository for nightly build?
0.8.114 is supposedly the newest.
Seems to work ok on Monteray/Intel however the overlay animations are slooooooow.
No, most recent TS3 is v0.9.125
Oh you’re right, when i go to about it shows that version, but when i look at the versions page it’s not updated with that revision. Thanks for the correction.
Another long time user of TS2 here — I just bought a license for TS3. This was blocking my move to the newest version of Mac OS, it is that important to me.
Working well in general, thank you! Two issues:
— Changing spaces is slow. I have the transition entirely disabled but I still get jank while switching. I have a M1.
— I’d love, love to disable the animation that leads up to the overview grid. Is this possible? I have this animation disabled in my older 2015 Macbook Pro running TS2 and I do not remember how I did it, that’s how long it’s been in there.
The fact that we still don’t have TS3 on Apple Silicon despite the massive continued interest displayed in this thread to me is proof that non-free software is the worst kind of software. If this were OSS, someone would’ve just ported this thing already. Instead we are all screwed while we can’t be mad the authors because of course we have no claim to anything here. We’re “just” the users. I’m glad everybody in this thread is trying to help and speed up a process that is needlessly complicated.
// edit: I’m aware there is TS3 beta/alpha. It’s just not a full replacement. I actually regressed to Apples horrible desktop management system and lost half my productivity.
It’s half-working on my intel mac under Mojave, I thought it was half-working on m1 as well, no?
This is the reason I haven’t upgraded my desktop to Mojave and also the reason I haven’t yet purchased an m1 mac.
I don’t know if the community would participate in development, but I think that it’s still being at least a little developed… and people are still buying new licenses, so not sure if there’s any reason for them to release the source code and allowing contributions.
