Prevent Cocoa applications from being in every space

nospaces

The WindowPatch framework performs a simple method swizzle to prevent NSWindows from following the user around to all spaces. The nospaces command-line utility simply tells dyld to load the WindowPatch framework with any Cocoa application that is loaded.

Installation

Simply open WindowPatch.pkg and follow the instructions on-screen.

Usage

Using the nospaces command is quite simple. Simply execute the command with a single parameter as follows:

nospaces /path/to/application/executable

If the executable in question is compiled only for 32-bit systems, the --32bit flag can be added:

nospaces /path/to/application/executable --32bit

Some programs (such as Photoshop CS5) do not work with nospaces for whatever reason. Through testing I have personally found that the WindowPatch framework works with most Cocoa applications that take advantage of NSWindow's all-space functionality.
