I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a program that opens a new window when other windows are already open on some other desktop/monitor. The behavior I always see is switching to the desktop with the window, with multiple dock icon clicks cycling through each desktop that program has windows on.
- whatever1 3y agoYou have to remember if there is a window open in any of the desktops, because the dock does not even provide info on this. It just tells you that it has a program in memory, like it can help my workflow. Dock in macos is a useless process manager, not a taskbar.
- asystole 3y agoI like macOS's window management in general but this is a good point. The dot indicators on the dock tell you whether an application is running, which on macOS doesn't necessarily mean it has any windows open. Clicking a dock icon results in a different action based on whether the application does have open windows, which is not visually indicated.
