A few people have requested it, so I'm definitely considering this idea for a version after 1.0.

This is annoying, isn't it? Hyperspaces actually is drawing beneath the menubar, it's Apple's lovely blur that's not updating. I'm still looking for ways to trigger this change short of setting the system desktop background.

The only network connection Hyperspaces makes is to my server (hyperspacesapp.com) to check for updates. Can you e-mail me a screenshot of the dialog that's coming up? (support@thecocoabots.com).

I'm still working on this. I think I've found an answer, but it's going to take a little time to implement.

It's not true. You will all receive a MacHeist copy of Hyperspaces 1.0, which will not be updateable beyond 1.0 - so if I put out a patch to the "full" version that's 1.0.1, or 1.1, the version of Hyperspaces you're using will not update itself to that version.

Thank you Tony. I'm really liking this app.

Hi Dan - Hyperspaces requires Mac OS X 10.5.5 or later.

i have never heard of it. is it better than spaces, for those who have used it?

guitardaddy,

Hyperspace is an add-on to spaces.  you activate spaces first.
use it to visually tell which space you are in by picture or color.

what it does: backgrounds image to each space (I use this and like it), labels (don't use it), background color (don't use it), hotkey (don't use it because the system already has hotkeys).

I've been following Hyperspaces ever since I stumbled across it during my aimless internetz wanderings. Great app, can't wait for future updates.

Thanks for letting me know Tony, much appreciated.

Maybe it's already been brought up, but what does Hyperspaces do that Space Suit doesn't do? I tried both, and the difference seems to be dock icon and better stability (space suit) VS icon in the top bar and less stability (hyperspaces).

that's what it gives you, from the project web page.

With the mention of this being memory intensive, I am wondering if anyone has used this on an older machine? I run 10.5.6 on a PowerBook G4 with a 128 MB vid-card, is this capable of pulling Hyperspaces weight?

I do use Spaces and find it invaluable, I'd like to give Hyperspaces a go, but am only cautious on hearing of it's demand on the system.

So that's basically colors (not a killer feature) and then labels (not a killer feature either) that differ. Hotkeys are built-in to os x. The switcher maybe...

Plastic Fish Never Die

Yeah, none of the other features do it for me either, but if the switcher can be made "sticky" on the desktop (always there) and moveable/resizeable that would be a killer feature for me.

I was close to buy hyperspaces before the Heist, but i said to myself: maybe they'll giv it for free, dring the heist.
And now i have it.

Thank you very much! I love it. ^^

Havent read thru the whole thread so I dont know if this is a known issue but I cant download it nor the app Timepost. I get a message at the bottom of my Safari (4beta)-window that tells me to check the Activity window for details. In the Activity window it says "Operation could not be completed" and then its something more but I cant resize the window to see what it is. Ive tried it a couple of times with the same result.

nah I'll stick with my broken spaces.

I just came to the same conclusion as this was definitly what I was missing. Found it on MacUpdate..

But, it seems I'm not the only one ...

update available for our 'preview' release

I'm feeling old

Feature request: Give an option to disable the transition animation when switching spaces. That's my number #1 gripe with Spaces --- seeing that transition twice a minute drives me insane.

Great app... except i run mach desktop so hyper screws with my backgrounds and unless i can run a movie in the background with hyperspaces then ill stick with mach desktop. And hyperspaces makes it a little laggy when i switch between spaces

PWND

Isn't there already a check box for that in the prefs?

Anyway, i like this App, although I don't really need it. It's well done!

Not orange, not gold, AMBER!!!

No, there's not, not even a hidden one.  I mentioned this as a request before, and I'll add a +1 to this.  Disable transitions and make the switcher display sticky, and you have a killer app!

Are you referring to the "Animate changes to desktop backgrounds" option?

I'm speaking about the standard spaces, without hyperspace, there's always an animation (windows moving in) and a pop-up that always displays when switching desktops.  I think this is what the previous poster meant too.  There's no way to disable this, even in a hidden preference option.  If hyperspaces or any third party app offered a way to disable this it would be great.

Ahh, so you mean the sliding effect.  Gotcha.

I love it... I'm surprised anyone would want it off.  Oh well... to each his own.  Maybe they will add a way to disable it.

Well, if you're used to Linux/UNIX, it's weird.  Under Linux I have 8 virtual desktops and switch back and forth *very* frequently.  Sometimes just half a second to check something, such as IM, then back again.  That's the same reason I want the pager.  Single click, check three desktops, back to the browser. 

I read through these pages, and I am impressed at how interested the developer is in his product. I've used way too much software created by people who seem simply to be uninterested.   I note as well how quickly an update was prepared based on user commentary.  Overall a solid product, but I think a more solid developer.

My two cents.

There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who read binary; and those who don't.

Agreed, very encouraging to see this.

I still cant download it. Any clues on why or maybee an alternate link?

Figured out another way to download it. Instead of just clicking the download-button I rightclicked on it and selected "Download linked file as..." and that did the trick. I tried downloading in Firefox earlier but I got a similar problem with that too.

Seems like though this would be a nice app to use its nothing for me since I cant have different backgrounds if Im also using DeskShade and since DeskShade is doing an excelent job covering over all those files thats made a permanent home on my desktop its Hyperspaces that has to go, too bad

Same thing with me, it adds the functionality that was missing from apple's default spaces! Thank you Macheist!

OK, so I must be an idiot. I've got it downloaded, but I don't see anything when I run it.  Nothing in the doc or menubar. Where is it???

I see it when I run ps, so I know it's loaded.

I love this app, so much better than spacesuit!!

thanks, its awesome

I have a single folder on my desktop called desktop tidy - holds all the files that would otherwise be scattered, maybe you should try it!!

Although I have space suit on my mac still, I think I'll stick with hyperspaces for now.
Different backgrounds are really essential for me, otherwise I loose track of what space I am on, even though there is a little number in the menu bar.

Plastic Fish Never Die

I actually have one folder like that but its actually a hidden DragThing dock with one folder (a bit hard to explain). I guess I should move everything else on the desktop into it or maybee create a second one since its most likely that I have duplicate named files ie nameless-1,nameless-2...etc. Its mostly screendumps...

just added a second folder to my hidden DragThing-dock and dragged over every file on my desktop. Thanks mooseworks for making me do this it was long overdue .

I really like this app and I would use it, but I have no use for it. Spaces does everything I want it to do. I can switch easily, I have everything set up for maximum productivity and I am very picky about my desktop backgrounds so they would all be the same anyway. Also, I have so much open at one time that I can never see the labels on the desktop. I usually have 9 spaces completely filled with at least 2 apps/windows open in each and most of those are relatively high-end apps.

someone mentioned in another thread the high memory usage.  so I checked. holy cow!
Hyperspace is using almost as much as Photoshop CS3.
what is the deal?

Maybe I'm dense, but I can't figure out an easy way to use a "stock" apple background on a hyperspace desktop. It seems you have to try to navigate through the labyrinth of /system files to get there directly.  Royal PITA. I also am frustrated by the white screen of death with any image from my photo library.  The standard Spaces doesn't seem to have a problem with a multi megapixel image...

That, and the crippling effect this app has on my laptop's performance means I'll stick with the Spaces.app until the 1.0 version comes out.

I DO appreciate the effort Tony has put into the app, but it just doesn't help *my* productivity.  Hopefully that will change by 1.0.

I love this app just for adding one feature that spaces is missing. The ability to create hotkeys to switch directly to spaces beyond space 9. I use 12 spaces and use ctrl-[1-9] to get navigate the first 9. Now with this app I use ctrl+0 to get to space 10 and ctrl+shift+[1-2] for 11 and 12.

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying version 1.0 just for this feature.

Cozza.

Core animation is the deal. Short story is that using CALayers in your application is very expensive memory-wise. I'm working on it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to lower it without dropping core animation.

I was hoping this one would find it's way into the bundle. All the better that it made its way into the loot!

Hey, tony, nice job with this. Any chance of seeing the impact space switching in the future? Also, sometimes the backgrounds get locked up and it needs to reboot. Overall, it is a definitive WIN.

Loving the love that's going on around my little app - thanks for all the feedback and kind words guys!

Hey Tony,

I had an idea of something that could be really useful in Hyperspaces. However, I don't know if it is doable (probably not).

It wouldbe great if it was possible to have different spaces on each screen when running in an extended desktop config. I'd love to be able to have (e.g.) Space 1 on my laptop screen and any other space on the external monitor.

It is probably not doable, but I just tought I'd share ;-) (let me know if I wasn't clear enough)
