Just a quick note - beta 3 arrived (17A306f). v2.6.1 will work with it, but a couple of things need to be fixed - removing spaces is broken, and the front window does not get set correctly in some cases when exiting the grid, or single desktop expose.
I’ll release a new TS beta in a few days to fix this and hopefully some of the other outstanding issues.
For what it’s worth 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 didn’t work for me on Public Beta 1, and 2.6.1 isn’t working for me on Public Beta 2 (17A306f). I’ve doublechecked that SIP is off when I install TS2, and I still have the same 9 spaces that I used for my 3x3 grid in macOS 10.12. TS2 doesn’t show which space it thinks I’m in in the menubar, and in the preferences under “layout” I don’t see a preview of my grid, + and - buttons on the rows/columns do nothing, and it says I both have and need 16 desktops despite my having 9…
Anyway, I don’t expect you to install the public beta and do another release! I’m just hoping the dev/public betas get closer and apis stop changing soon so I can have TS2 working again! Thanks for all the effort you put in.
Version 2.6.1 has a lot of bugs or interferes with other Apps.
These are the bugs I have:
Sometimes when I change a space with a 4 finger swipe it will return to the first space, lets say the first space was Desktop 4, if I click for instance Safari in the dock and it’s in space 1 it will return to space 4 instantly.
This just happens once in a while, but the next bug is really bad.
If I open Transmission it will get into a state I have to restart, the desktops will change from the space Transmission is in to the space I was in multiple times a second, the only way to get out of this is to hold the start button on my mini for 2-3 seconds and then press the R button to restart the Mini.
There is also no spaces overview in the menu, the icon also does not display the space one is in.
It’s not useable the way it is now.
Thanks for the reports. Working on it!
please update. I am dying.

@jking and @justme please try this version. I am not able to reproduce your issues - if they persist I’ll want to look at the console logs from your machines.
When I run 2.6.2 on 10.13 Beta (17A306f) I get the following console output:

Oddly enough, I did run the uninstaller, and re-install and it managed to connect to Dock after a couple failed attempts and then TS2 was working fine! It knew what space I was in, navigated my 3x3 grid, showed it in preferences and all that jazz! then I quit it, and went to relaunch it and OS X told me the app was damaged and I should move it to the trash. So, I did, then copied the app from the disk image back to my applcations folder, ran it, and it fails to connect. I’ve tried reinstalling and restarting a couple of times and haven’t been able to get it to connect to Dock again. Let me know if I can do any more digging! Thanks, @stephen!
I tried it for the last couple of days, as of now there seems to be no problem in the new version.
BTW, I was using it as a trail before, but I just bought a copy, cheers.
@jking Something strange going on here.
Uninstalling and re-installing should normally fix this kind of error.
Can you please search for messages from Dock in Console.app when you start TotalSpaces2?

It looks like the wrong version of the plugin is being loaded.
I don’t know why that should be. Please check the contents of both /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ and /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
Under normal circumstances there should be nothing in /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ and TotalSpaces.osax in /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
But I’m wondering if you have some old files there.
Oh, also check contents of /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/TotalSpaces.osax/Contents/Resources/
Thanks
On a more general note, v2.6.2 is usably working with beta 4, but I will need to make an update, expect this soon.
Sorry, I’ve been swamped the last few days… So, I cleaned everything else out of both ScriptingAdditions folders and restarted and TS2 kept failing to connect to Dock. In TotalSpaces.osax/Contents/Resources/ I see TotalSpacesInjector.sdef and a directory called English.lproj containing InfoPlist.strings. Interestingly, TS2 works fine for me (on the recently released PB3 even!) on other user accounts on my Mac - it’s just something about my main admin account that is preventing TS2 from connecting… I’ll poke around when I have more free time and let you know if I can figure out what is doing it. Thanks again, Stephen!
You can find a new version of TotalSpaces2 here:
http://downloads.binaryage.com/TotalSpaces2-2.6.3.dmg
It should work better on beta 4.

Also, @jking please try this one.

I have uninstalled, checked the scripting folders, also used AppCleaner to uninstall as well.
When I open the preferences to create rows/cols nothing happens. I have zero rows/cols and clicking + does nothing. It says I have 16 desktops. Hot corners or viewing expose grid do nothing.
Can you send me logs from when the app first started, filtered for TotalSpaces
And then again filtered for Dock.
That would be most helpful. If you are running v2.6.3 then there is additional debugging information, and I should be able to see better the issue.
To save pasting here you can email them to support@binaryage.com
@cyberwombat that does sound like what I experience… Do you have another user account on your mac? If not, would you mind creating one and trying TS2 there? It works fine for me on other accounts, but there’s something on my main account that is messing things up… there’s also something going on that makes safari hang and bring my mac to a crawl after like 40 minutes that doesn’t happen on other accounts. I haven’t had time to properly suss out what it is, though!
2.6.3 seems to be behaving the same as 2.6.2 for me, at least as far as launching and connecting to Dock. Works on my alternate account, but not my main… I’m sorry I haven’t had time to figure out why!

Apps set to full screen mode were causing problems, this has been resolved.
