Spaces not working correctly, Help!

Hi all,


I've just changed to a new mac (not actually new, just new to me) and I'm having problems with Spaces in Snow Leopard 10.6.8.


I've set various apps - email, web browser etc along with Adobe Creative Suite to open in various spaces so i can easily flick between each of them but for some untold reason Spaces will not keep Adobe Indesign, Illustrstor and Photoshop in Space 1, but whatever Space i'm in rather than the one they are defined to. It does work with Chrome and Outlook however but I know is this not a problem with Adobe as it worked fine on my other Mac, which is also 10.6.8.


I have no explanantion for this and have removed preferences.plist and that didnt work.



Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried removing the application assignments for adobe in system preferences - spaces?

Reboot (to be sure) and then add them again, choosing one space (and not all spaces)

Hi, good you found a temporary solution /workaround.


Don't know if it's useful to you, but anyway:

I've read that OSX 10.9 will contain several improvements with spaces and dual monitor setups.

http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/29/apple-to-update-os-x-with-new-power-user-features- more-from-ios-later-this-year/

Wether Adobe apps will work well with this new features is another question, as Adobe and Apple are not exactly best friends anymore.


I'm not an adobe specialist, so maybe somebody else can tune in here and provide tips?

Just a quick reply — I didn't read the links --A--C-- provided.


I use Ps CS6 (a while ago Ps CS4), Dreamweaver CS5, InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4. (I don't know if my Au CS6 and Lightroom 4 are part of the story.) They obey Spaces perfectly when they have a file open. You could, with some imagination maybe, see some logic here.


(I got used to leaving at least one file open when I switch around in Spaces a lot. And I'm so happy with Exposé/Spaces that I don't move to Mountain Lion.)
