OS X Leopard Spaces window assignment ?

Post by dave_f »

OS 10.5.x has a virtual window feature called Spaces.

I would like to assign newLISP to a single virtual window that I use for coding, but (as far as I can tell) System Preferences can't add newLISP-GS.app to its list of Spaces-applications. Is there a way to do this?

thanks,

dave_f

system: Intel iMac, OS 10.5.2, newLISP 9.3.6

My guess is that it's not possible. newLISP-GS isn't a standard-enough Mac application to get the full 100% treatment by the OS - even if you manage to drag the icon into the Spaces list it doesn't take any notice of it, and always launches it in the first Space. It's not possible to put a Java app or launcher in the Spaces list either.

Also, Spaces isn't scriptable so that won't help.

But I'm prepared to be wrong... :)
