Rarely buy products, but this Total Spaces thing is…a thing!
I’ve been using for a lot (and shame on me, broke student, pirated it). BUT I heavily regret now that decision.
Hope that TS3 is something I’ll be able to see and…purchase, when I get hand’s on on new M1 Max (or even M2 by that time, who knows).
Really…2D is essential for me. When I had an ability to purchase I was not able to turn SIP off. Unfortunately (know, that it’s not developers’ issue, but Apple).
Looking forward to TS3! Wish best of luck! Personally, for me basic VIM-like navigation and custom grid is what I need. Like 6x6 or so and I’m ultra-happy. This is an MVP to me.
So far I’m enjoying TS3 of M1 Mac Pro/Monterey. It has its quirks, but I can live with most of them (slow transitions, etc). However, the one I find more annoying is that if I drag an app from one space to another, it just bounces back. And these are not apps tied to a particular space.
It is also a pity that “Displays have separate Spaces” has to be selected in Mission Control. I always had it turned off in TS2, but am getting used to the new setup.
This seems to be the “official release”, and if you install it and then try to update within TS3, it says it’s up-to-date. However, there is a later version that works better for me, allowing dragging to new spaces (and staying there):
This may be as good as it gets, as it doesn’t seem the program is active. So far, it works well for me in Mac OS 12.4 Monterey, and I’m happy that we don’t have to disable SIP any more. No guarantees for Ventura.
yeah thanks, I’m on the latest already it seems if that’s the case.
issue im having is assigning apps to particular spaces keeps randomising every time I relaunch or reboot. its weird
Back working on TS3 because Stage Manager has still some things to improve or debug… (even though very promising)
I hope TS3 continues to be developed by the new extended team !
I had TotalSpaces3 working great on macOS 12.4 M1 Max on a 16" MBP and then it stopped with this error in the console. I tried a complete reinstall, removing all Application Support files, etc. The error persisted. The only thing I can truly think that I changed about my setup was I put background pictures up on a few desktops.
Hey @bleeckerj old buddy! Any updates on this? Did it work itself out (sometimes it happens with these crazy temperamental things…)?
I just got an m1 mbp and finding that for my own needs I can finagle Mission Control to cover 95% of my “neeeeds” (just missing the overview grid, the 2 dimensional layout of Spaces, and just larger view of them in that grid).
Anyways… just wondering if it is worth the pain to install this beta now. shrug
No, nothing back on this issue. As mentioned, TS3 worked…and then it stopped working with this stack trace. Seems to me that it’s a relatively small bug somewhere with an array being passed a null object. But — no code, and no maintainer so I don’t expect much to come of it.
It’d be nice if this project could be made open source, or make the code available to a maintenance crew. I feel confident with the community here of passionate folks we’d be able to get this back up and running! I think there are even folks in here who would be willing to do some kind of patronage.
So I am temporarily back on Intel silicon and Monterey. TS3 seems to work, but now I realize that one of the central features to my usage of TS is gone: HotCorners.
My “TS muscle memory” is tied to throwing my cursor up to the top right corner, getting the overview grid which gives me the spacial layout and visual on where things is (which I need for my lack of working memory).
I’m guessing this was part of what disabling SIP was needed for? I hope not, and I hope we see HotCorners support come back…
