Thanks so much for fixing this and the work you put into it.
I also love the extra virtual desktops. I've been thinking of asking you for this for a long time now. Your like Apple, anticipating and implementing what the customer wants before they even ask!
One question about removing an unwanted desktop; When I choose "Remove" will I get a warning if there are controls on it? I can see myself accidentally erasing a whole page of controls without this protection.
Again, super job! I'm thrilled and can't wait to get started organizing my project.
and thank you for the kind words. That’s nice to hear!
