SIGIL  Great App. It does what it says it does. However, I wish it could add some of the functionality of Spacesuit or Hyperspaces, e.g, " Customize Spaces with a different desktop picture for each Space."

SALGADO  It's really nice to be able to have a specific dock linked to each space. I use 6 spaces with a specific dock for each of them. Can't understand why this isn't standard with Mac OS but Dock Spaces does it perfectly.

Version 3.01 works great up till now with Snow Leopard. It's a lot quicker than 2.4 on Leopard. The upgrade was straightforward, no problems.

Tx to the developer.

HAMISHMACDONALD  After a lot of trying, I just can't get this to work (under Snow Leopard on a MacBook Air, using the latest version of DockSpaces, 3.01).

I've linked my docks to different spaces, but each time I change one dock, all the others change -- even if I specifically load one dock, make changes to it, then load the next, change it, etc. As soon as I change Spaces, the dock messes up, with dock #2 becoming dock #1, and so on. So I correct all the docks, and as soon as I switch Spaces again... a mess. My Work dock is now my Play dock from two sets of changes ago, etc.

This is a beautiful app, and the theory of how it works is great, but in practice I can't get it to behave as it says it will.

It seems to be working for others, though :(

ANONYMOUS  Oh I am really sorry about that...

Because I was working with the my plist file from previous versions I never notice that...

To restore your Dock using timemachine:

Open time machine and Go to User/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and restore this file.

Then open your terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal.app) and type

killall Dock

and hit enter...

That's it, I am really sorry for the trouble

MANU_7312  Thanks for the quick response! I worked like a charm, and I have my original Dock back :0)

In future versions, it would be nice to have the option to revert to the original Dock (the Dock that was there before Dock Spaces was first run).
