Q: How to automatically return apps to their designated desktop after screen sharing

Hi Everyone,

 

I use 5 desktops and have apps assigned to each of them (e.g. desktop 3 has the browsers; desktop 4 powerpoint/word; etc) so these apps always open where they belong. Now this works fine unless I do a screen sharing. Screen sharing seems to create 'desktop 6' to which I need to move the apps I want to share. No problem there, makes sense.

 

However, once I stop sharing, the 6th desktop disappears and all the apps I had there are moved to the desktop 1 which means I have to move them manually to where they are assigned/belong.

 

Is there a way or an app that will take care of this automatically, ie that will return apps to desktops they are assigned to? For example if an app is on a different desktop as it is assigned to for 5min, return it. Or something like that.

 

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
