But that is not necessarily how Mission control works. Yes, you CAN that all of an apps windows as a single group and drag then to a specific desktop, but there is nothing saying you have do do this. >> This behavior is bad enough -- but livable -- under 10.5 when I can >> force different topics into different _desktops_.

I’m not sure why you mean by ‘real support’. Certainly there are features of some virtual desktop systems that Mission Control in Lion doesn’t support, but putting windows on desktops is certainly one that it does. Also, with Lion’s resume, when you login, all your windows and desktops are just how you left them. You can pin an application to a specific desktop, and still move a wind of that application to another manually. Just as an example, right now my main Mail Viewer Window is on Desktop 5, and this message is on Desktop 4. -- But just because you've seen me on your TV Doesn't mean I'm any more enlightened than you _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
