A while back - somewhere on the Big WWW, there was a post by someone with a tip for keeping the finder from switching spaces when ever you click on the desktop.
If you have an open finder window in (let’s say) Space 2 and you are in Space 1, if you click on the desktop, it will jump to Space 2 and the open window. There was a “fix” for this where it would just “open” the finder and not jump to the open window.
I thought is was either on Macworld, or maybe Six Colors, but I searched everywhere and Cant find it. Does any one know how to make this happen, or remember where the article was to make the finder behave this way? I use Spaces all the time and forgot how annoying it is to have it switch this way.
Thanks - that kind of does what I want - but it also makes any open finder windows “move” to the other space. I am pretty sure what I had before was the window stayed in the original space and didn’t show up in the other. So I could have a clean desktop in one space, and opens finder windows in another.
Thanks!! I got so caught up in thinking is was something tricky that I missed going to Mission Control. I didn’t have that one checked, but I did have this one checked.
OK - this really isn’t quite it either. I don’t know maybe I was dreaming, and it always worked this way. Just muscle memory is telling me otherwise. I will keep searching.
