Live in OS X - Using different desktops possible?

Post by yentzee » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:56 am

Hi!
IS there any way to make use of the desktop feature of OS X (former spaces) so that for example I could have my main window on desktop 1 and plugins at desktop 2?

Cheers,

Jens

I would also love this feature, but as far as I know it is not possible :(

Would be lovely To keep Plugin GUIs open on Spaces :)

It's got to do with the way Live handles plug ins.
Bitwig also exhibits the same behavior, when trying to put plug ins in different desktops the plug ins disapear when in Mission Control.
Digital Performer allows this, I don't know what it means programming wise? it could be that DP will have to be rewritten to ever get sandboxed plug ins etc.

It works with dual screen on Live 8, but you cant pin them. And only appears if abes is selected.
