Just popping in now to wonder out loud if maybe it might someday be possible to script something that is triggered by an active Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc. As I proofread that tiny little bit, it further occurs to me that there surely must be some way to do that. The packages that we scooch around between workspaces have to be cluing in on something to know that they are to stay put over there instead of right here in front of us... unless their workspace is the one currently being viewed... right here in front of us.
