OS Tahoe 26.2 will not remember Desktops assigned to external monitors
OS Tahoe 26.2 will not remember Spaces on Desktop per external monitors & MacBook. I posted this with Sequoia about 8-9 months ago and was hoping the issue would be fixed with Tahoe but apparently it's not. I use my MacBook Pro and connect 2 monitors - one is connected via the HDMI port on the right side, the other is a USB-C port same side. I use Spaces (or Desktop #) because I need to see different programs at once to bounce around with the Control+left/right arrow keys or Command+Tab to jump to different programs. At one point the Apple OS used to let you assign open programs to Spaces so you could launch those programs as you assigned and jump to those open windows easily with those same key commands, but it doesn't let you do that anymore which means I need to take a minute to open the programs I need and manually move them to the Spaces I want at the start of work every day. To do this you could right click on the app in the dock and choose Options and Assign [space #] — now it only says "Assign to All Desktops, Desktop on Display 1, Desktop of Display 2, Desktop on Display 3, None." There used to be an option that if you had a program open on one of these it would say "Assign to this Space/Desktop #".
The way I have my Spaces/Desktops are:
Left monitor (Desktop 6); MacBook (Desktop 1-5); Right monitor (Desktop 7-10)
On Desktop 6, I'll have one program displayed so it's always on my left to reference.
1-5 & 7-10 are various other ones that have programs open to jump around back and forth in, one being my task/time recorder so it's not buried under other open windows. When I bring my Mac into work (or at home) and connect the monitors, the left will have Desktop 6, MacBook will strangely have Desktop 1-5 & 8-10, and Desktop 7 appears on the right monitor. I will have to move 8-10 to the right monitor and every program I have to open needs to be moved to the monitor I want them on.
Stage Manager doesn't do any of the above and is better for those who do not use multiple external monitors. But Apple believes that everyone using a MacBook Pro is sitting in a coffee shop working I guess.
