How keep spaces with Brave?

See original GitHub issue

Description

In Chrome binaries, we have a new feature to keep the window position between Darwin “Spaces”. e.g:

defaults write org.chromium.Chromium NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch -bool YES
defaults write com.google.Chrome.canary NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch -bool YES
defaults write com.google.Chrome NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch -bool YES

Steps to Reproduce

Install the Nightly version.
Run defaults write com.brave.Browser.nightly NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch -bool YES

Actual result:

It doesn’t work. It works in Chromium and Canary.

Expected result:

Restore the Windows in their original space.

Brave version (brave://version info)

Nightly Channel v1.4.12

Other Additional Information:

Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? It works in Chromium and Canary.

Oddly, sudo was the “problem”… the parameter NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch wasn’t added…

I’ve executed the command without sudo as defaults write com.brave.Browser NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch -bool YES and check if the new parameter had been saved with defaults read com.brave.Browser, and then, it was added :

{
    LastRunAppBundlePath = "/Applications/Brave Browser.app";
    …
    NSWindowRestoresWorkspaceAtLaunch = 1;
    SUAutomaticallyUpdate = 1;
    SUEnableAutomaticChecks = 1;
    SUHasLaunchedBefore = 1;
    SULastCheckTime = "2021-08-07 08:31:49 +0000";
    SUScheduledCheckInterval = 10800;
}

I’ve rebooted and now, Brave windows are restored in their previous space ! 👍

@DSGND

i guess I’m not that current…

I’m currently on brave Version 1.27.108 Chromium: 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (x86_64) macOS: 11.4

(haven’t had a chance to do a reboot for a while because i have a dozen different spaces open, each with different projects in various stages. - probably this weekend i will get around to pausing everything and doing a bunch of updates and a reboot).
