So the response to Hyperspaces 1.1 was fantastic — thanks so much for all the kind words and excellent feedback that you took the time to send. Being able to use different settings across all of your displays and spaces in Hyperspaces 1.1 seems to have made a lot of people very happy!
However — no app is perfect, and there were some annoying problems with Hyperspaces 1.1 that decreased the awesomeness by at least 35% (our science team gave me that number). I’ve been hard at work on an update that makes everything a little bit smoother, and irons out most of the problems that crept in to the last release.
Hyperspaces 1.1.1 is available for download now (Mac App Store customers, skip to the bottom), and includes the following changes:
- Changing spaces is faster.
- You can set the way that your desktop image scales (or tiles) under the ‘Images’ tab in the ‘Your Spaces’ preferences.
- A refined user interface for selecting and editing your spaces under the ‘Your Spaces’ preferences — it should be much clearer which space you’re editing versus which space you’re on.
- Additional options under ‘Your Spaces → Options’ to disable the actions performed when clicking and double-clicking on the desktop when icons are hidden.
- Bugs that you guys reported have been fixed left, right and center.
- Increased general awesomeness by about 35% (again, figures by our science guys).
Update me, update man!
Both the Mac App Store and the retail versions have been updated:
- Check for updates from the retail version’s preferences; or
- Visit the ‘Updates’ tab in the App Store app if you have the Mac App Store release.
I’m really happy with how this release has turned out, but I’m not resting on my laurels: I’m working toward another release a little later in the year (after I release a couple of currently-under-wraps apps from the CocoaBots’ secret base!).
