I am running PixInSight version 01.08.05.1352 commercial license on a MacBook Pro with 16 GB memory and 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7. I have an issue that occurs from time-to-time with PixInSight I can't always duplicate and I never really know when it will happen. After doing some work and saving things I may just minimize PixInSight to the dock and work on something else. When I am ready to go back to PixInSight clicking on the icon restores the top PixInSight menu but not the working space. I can open up new processes from the top menu but I do not have access to the working space. Nothing I do will reopen the working space window. I have to completly quit PixInSight and relaunch. Knowing this can happen I take care to either make sure everything is saved or try to remember to leave the working space open. As mentioned, I never know when this will happen. Am I only in this or have others seen it as well?

i have never seen this. are you sure pixinsight isnt maximized into its own workspace? its possible just clicking the icon is not forcing the OS to switch to the workspace for some reason. i use TotalSpaces so i dont know how workspaces work natively on OSX anymore. is there a hotkey combination that will let you change workspaces?

Are you clicking on the PI App Icon in the dock? If so, try clicking on the PI Window Icon in the dock, you know the one off to the right, after the little dock divider, where all the running app open windows are shown. (Not sure of the exact terminology here). I find that after minimizing PI to the dock, I have to click on the window icon to restore it. This may be because I'm running dual monitors and have placed the Console and History Explorer windows on the second monitor.

I hope this helps,

Sean

Ah, I hadn't thought of that, Sean. I'll try that next time it happens. I know exactly what you are talking about.

Rob, I'll keep on the lookout for your thoughts too.
