Mac support on the radar?

So I'm making my first foray into owning a mac outside of VM's.  I'm expecting the worst part of the experience to be the fact multiplicity does not currently support osx. 

Is this on stardocks radar?  has it been talked about?  can we expect it in the future?

It's something we certainly want to do - it just won't be a reality anytime soon.

I suppose thats better than nothing lol.

Does that mean it IS formally on the radar?  aka WILL happen some day?  I figured it wouldnt be anytime soon  (of course "soon" itself is relative) but if we're talking a year or two its worth looking forward to.  Anything beyond that it might as well be an after thought :P

thanks for the reply

Personally the lack of support for MAC some of the multi-PC options, force me to look to other software solutions.

 

1.  this means I am less than enthused when these options are included in a bundle, as 2nd PC is a MAC.

2.  This means that since I am looking elsewhere, I am constantly re-evaluating whether I need my stardock object desktop subscription going forward.

yea multiplicity comes with a lot of pros, but many cons as well.  No dynamic switching is a big one.  Primary only is problematic when switching between pc's but its a tradeoff ive dealt with at least thus far for some of the other things it brings to the table. 

Hoping the next iteration adds dynamic switching so you can control any pc from any pc and mac support.  If that makes it in im likely locked in for life.


multiplicity has gotten me to look into other stardock softwares.  I ended up with groupy which is amazing, and tried start10 but it has some shortcomings relative to open-shell (namely custom shortcuts) that make it hard to accept/use. 

Anyhow, getting off track.

You can add them to Start10 unless I am not understanding your request.

You can choose what to show, and how to show it, if at all, in fact:

I'll have to revisit it.  Been quite some time to be fair.  Will post back in another thread/relevant forum potentially requesting features if thats what it comes to.  Dont want to clutter up this one with another discussion :)
