i love hyperspace.  I uses spaces all the time since my desktop screen is not big enough to fit the work i do. With spaces i can now customize it. Thanks Macheist agian for another great

That would be super awesome!  Thanks.

Works fine now, all my fault ... thank you!!

Btw, if I can make a suggestion to the developer.  I've been searching for a app that behaves like a UNIX-style virtual desktop pager for spaces for some time and even posted about it awhile ago, but never knew your app existed until the loot.  I had searched on versiontracker, but the description of your app didn't suggest anything like this.

If you can make the pager detachable and make sure to advertise this in the description, I bet there are a *lot* of ex-UNIX/Linux people who switched to OS X that are desperately searching for something like this, so you could get a good sales boost.

Thanks.

Damn just posted this bug separately before seeing this thread...

The version 656 is working, no more crash thanks

this + warp = omg

Exact! That's the combination I use

To the people who doesn't know it: Warp http://ksuther.com/warp/ (it's free, but you can donate!)

Hi Tony. Hyperspaces is a really great app! I really loved using VirtueDesktops, so when I found out about this one I was thrilled to see it. However, I installed it and it runs great. But I'm having some problems customizing the wallpapers. Whenever I add an image, all I get is a white empty box. I took a glance at my console and saw this:

Feb 28 14:12:32 Macintosh [0x0-0x290290].com.thecocoabots.Hyperspaces[11225]: CoreAnimation: 2560 by 1600 image is too large for GPU, ignoring
Feb 28 14:12:32 Macintosh [0x0-0x290290].com.thecocoabots.Hyperspaces[11225]: CoreAnimation: rendering error 500

Am I to understand there's a limit on the size of the image? I would really like to be able to apply my hi-res wallpapers. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip on Warp - it looks like this will help improve the functionality of Hyperspaces

Thanks Tony for the app..

I'll give it a try tomorow

Go Green Go...

I hope it's allowed to make a complaint/suggestion here .

I love this program so far, I do miss the option to not have it in the top menu bar at all (and not in the dock). But for the rest it's great.

Thank you very much!

I wonder which team I'm on...
Oh, I'm on the blue team .

isnt the only demo limitation that you can only organize 3 spaces with hyperspaces?
i, using only 3 spaces, used the demo a time ago but it was kind of buggy but now this version works great and makes lot of fun!!

thanks!

izdale wrote -I'm guessing you have the setting to hide the PathFinder desktop.  That would make hyperspaces work, but then when I click on the desktop, I am in Finder and not PathFinder, so that's not a solution for me.  But that would be one way to make it work with both apps.  From my searching, the other apps out there that can change the wallpaper to be different for each space also don't go overtop of PathFinder's desktop, so if hyperspaces added that ability, it would be the best one out there

believe it or not that is not the case. i would be happy to send u a screen shot, but i have the finder's desktop hidden in pathfinder.. pathfinders desktop icons r superimposed over my hyperspaces backgrounds... so when u click anything you are in pathfinder... swear to god! if u pm me i can email u a snapshot or something.

The same happened to me. Does it mean we will have to pay right after the next (minor) update is released?

Please fix the registration "bug". It is impossible to open the preferences after clicking on it. You have to restart the app. Not a good advertisement...

Team Green Monkeys™: "It's monkey business!!!"

Besides using Warp, you should also try using Dock Spaces with Hyperspace.  It allows you to have different docks for each space, and it will automatically change the dock when you change spaces.  It's free too.  http://www.nscoding.co.uk/dock.html

Also, I had a strange bug with hyperspaces today.  For some reason, the a key on my keyboard stopped working.  I couldn't get it to work, so I quit out of hyperspaces and then it worked again.  I tried to reproduce it but I couldn't.

Finally, derekl your screenshot doesn't help me.  Are you able to have a different wallpaper on each space while using PathFinder and hyperspaces?  Because the title of my space shows up using hyperspaces, it's the wallpaper itself that doesn't change unless I quit out of PathFinder.

Thanks Tony for the Great App.  I am using it constantly right now.  I am in Love with it

wow, i didn't even know that i was missing this stuff in spaces...... this is sweet.
Thanks

why does Hyperspaces need to use Growl to tell me I switched spaces?  I know I switched spaces.
any way to disable this?

This is more about your video card than about your image. Because of the way Core Animation works (Hyperspaces uses Core Animation to do it's drawing), it push images onto the video card without breaking them up. On lower memory video cards, this results in the "white background syndrome".

I have a few ideas about fixing it before version 1.0 is released - keep an eye on the updates.

This is fixed in the latest internal build - you're welcome to download it and give it a try before I release it properly: http://hyperspacesapp.com/macheist-file … es_656.zip

I'll be really up front about the upgrade path (I think I have been so far): You'll get updates until version 1.0 is released (this includes 1.0 final). That means that the bugs you're experiencing now will most likely be fixed, but there may not be many new features added.

Well, it doesn't - you can disable this from your Growl preferences. Look under the 'Applications' tab in the Growl preference pane - you can just uncheck Hyperspaces. This is how I run my copy because I want Growl to tell me about things I don't know I already did

I never said it wasn't possible, but if you're using PathFinder's desktop it will generally draw over top of Hyperspaces. I've got a few fixes in place in the next build (which aren't perfect).

i am running leopard.
i sent tony a message.
in short, it doesn't even launch into the dock, and just gives a crash report

Second that. Love hyperspace so far. Good work.

Not orange, not gold, AMBER!!!

Hey Tony,

I don't really have anything to report. I'm just glad you're here in the forums. This is great. I appreciate you taking the time to help people out as they use your application. Welcome to MacHeist, and I hope we're as helpful to you as you are to us!!

Sometimes I feel so blue
It makes me twitter.

Hyperspaces is so amazing! Thank you Tony

No other team will ever taste as good

Tony,

The wording on your Registration preference area might need to be reworded.
Reads like you are not including 1.0 Final.

great app! I read about it a while ago, but since I (as I am sure many of you all do) read a lot of blogs about  related awesome, I lost track of it. Here we are now though. I was going to post in here about how much a resources guzzler that it is, but I won't waste your time by making you read it, Tony. I guess I did anyway. I love what you have so far, and if you can work out that memory drawback, then you have my full support (and wallet access) come 1.0. Thanks.Peace

p.s. before posting this message i spent the last 20mins switching between spaces and setting the wallpapers that were most aesthetically appealing and best fit the four genres that the spaces represent. All with an apple-inspired background. Thank you for helping me feed my OCD for the next hour or so.

Using it now, and would not be using spaces without it ... I just wish you where Orange.

Aside from setting background / labels (which doesn't contribute to productivity in my work style), how is this different from spaces in Leapord?

The features:
Background, labels, and color fade: not useful for me... maybe someone wants these?
Switch: click on the spaces icon in dock, or activate it using trigger via QuickSilver
Hotkey:
- Direct to screen: fn + number, or command + number, configurable in spaces' system preferences
- Neighbour screen: fn + arrow key, or command + arrow key, configurable in spaces' system preferences

The only feature it is semi useful for is probably background on different screens, which, frankly, 95% or more of the time, people don't see their background wall paper anyways (covered by windows doing work)...

*shrugs* Not an app for me I guess.

rawr~

I think the idea with spaces is to have an uncluttered desktop so you can see the background.

someone mentioned Spacesuit.  I tried it. 

I like the way Hyperspace allows you to add background pictures.

With spacesuit, if have dragthing set to click on desktop take you to the finder, then you only have one space that you can drag a picture from.

I can't get it to work. When I try to launch it nothing appears in the menu bar. After about 10 seconds I get a box that says Connection Failure: There server is not operation or is not available at this time. When I tried to download version 655 mentioned earlier in this thread I got a 404 File not found on this server message.

I finally got a chance to try this out today, and I'm really liking it a lot. Cool!  Thanks for this one.

This is a very pleasant surprise, at the time I learned that this was going to be in the Heist.
I downloaded it once, but scoffed at its limited features as a trial... I dont want to spend money on something that should have been implemented in the OS by default, customizing Spaces, but then I guess customization to the finest detail is a sacrifice for apple's idealogy of simplicity and necessity.

This app rocks much, and I'm very glad it's here, FREE of CHARGE!

Hi Tony. Are there plans to allow for custom Docks in each Space? I know that there are other apps that allow you to do this but I feel that this is something that should naturally be a feature of Hyperspaces.

▛▞▞▟ Proud Member of the BLUE Team™ ▙▚▚▜

Tony, I love your app, but is it possible to make the background for each space to also extend under the translucent menu bar? Its kinda of odd having a green menu bar (because my real background is green) and have a orange background due to spaces. Other than that great App!!

The person above me is a perfect candidate to a "that's what she said" joke.

I never actually used Spaces.But having this app now made really think that I maybe should try using it a bit more.

I wonder if it will play nice with Desktopia...

Hi

Having a bit of a prob, when I D/L the prog it has a white circle with a line through it (think Ghostbusters!) and when I moved it to my apps folder and tried to run it a message said i could not run hyperspaces on this version of OSX (I am running 10.5.4) do I need to upgrade to .5.6 cos It doesn't work with some other software of mine. I also D/L'd the version from this thread but no joy there either.

I was able to download and install the 656 update but it still does nothing other than give the Connection Failure error message. I can't imagine what server it thinks it should connect to. As far as I can tell this tool has nothing to do with networking. I'll give it a try again when I'm get home and am on my home network.

This application has improved a lot since the last time I used it last year. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't any smooth transition between the wallpaper changes which Mac OS X does if you enable random wallpapers and woke up your Mac from its screen saver. However, the recent version has it!

Thanks MacHeist for including this in my loot and I would have bought if it if wasn't the case!

Beyond the Infinite

I don't think this feature should be in this application since it seems a Spaces centric application. You may have heard of Dock Spaces which complements this application nicely but the most annoying thing about changing docks is that the Dashboard needs to be reloaded

Beyond the Infinite

Another nice feature, if possible would be to disable the built-in spaces animation when switching spaces.  It seems OS X has no way to turn this off, if it's possible for hyperspaces to do this, it would be great.  (Or maybe it will be possible in Snow Leopard.)

Great app indeed, thanks to macheist & the developer for giving it away to us heisters!

I have the 656 version (from this forum), but it still draws backgrounds as plain white, which is really annoying. If this was fixed I would consider a full license! Also, it sounds like you are planning not to give us 1.0 final, is this just my head or true?

Blue Moof!

Does Hyperspaces allow you to change the default keys to switch between spaces? Apple only lets you choose between command/alt/control arrow keys, I was wondering if Hyperspaces would let me switch to alt j,k,l,i or something similar.

Macheist.

I love this app! Very useful and lots of neat features... thanks so much MacHeist!
