Mission Control and 3rd party apps like Photoshop CS5

I wish Mission control worked as well w/ 3rd party apps like Photoshop CS5. If you have PS open alone in mission control, say, on desktop #3, and happen to click on Mail in the dock, desktop #3 now becomes "polluted" w/ mail AND PS.

Generally it just doesn't stay "locked in" on a desktop, when moving back and forth w/ differnt desktops, like the apple born apps.

Or am I missing a tweak or configuration to help Photoshop stay locked in to a "space"?

Thanks, T

You can lock an app to a desktop, if you want. With it in the desktop you want, right-click on the Dock icon and go to the Options submenu. There are various options for what desktop to use, All Desktops, This Desktop, None.

I also think if you drag it to a desktop in MC, it will set it to that desktop.

Adobe is not doing everything right, that is for sure, but i doubt it is as simple as that, since there are bugs that cause Finder windows to group on spaces they weren't supposed to move and this kind of things.

Then I'm not an OSX developer so I can't know how much API change from one version to the other.
