Apple has fixed an issue with Mission Control’s All Windows mode in Mac OS X 10.7.2 that will make a lot of people happy. You can now rearrange the desktop spaces and full-screen applications by dragging. The Dashboard and the first desktop space remain fixed in place at the first and second places in the desktop spaces and full-screen applications list.
Although dragging these objects around is new, the trick to getting it to work is similar to a previous tip.
By default Mac OS X will automatically rearrange spaces based on the most recent use. If you want to manually manipulate your desktop spaces and full-screen apps follow these steps:
- Open System Preferences
- Click on Mission Control
- Un-check the Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use
You will now be able to manipulate your desktop spaces and full-screen apps to your heart’s content. The only exception as mentioned above is that the Dashboard and first desktop space cannot be rearranged.
