Update Names not working

[colin-108]

I installed the newest versions of MySIMBL and Spaces Renamer on 07/26/2019. I followed all of the steps: installing MySIMBL and SpacesRenamer, along with disabling SIP (also note that I am on Mojave 10.14.5). After following all of the steps, I logged out and back in; and everything worked great! The ability to name spaces was incredible in improving my productivity--huge thank you!!

But, I restarted my MacBook this morning 07/29/2019 and SpaceRenamer stopped working properly. On restart, all of the spaces launched but they defaulted to native Desktop 1, Desktop 2, Desktop 3, etc. I clicked the SpacesRenamer icon in the menubar, all of the names I had previously inputted remained which was great. I clicked the Update Names button hoping it would rename everything but it didn't work. I tried closing all of the open Desktops except Desktop 1 and re-adding them, and again clicking Update Names with the hope this might fix the solution but it didn't work. I tried quitting SpaceRenamer and relaunching, this also didn't fix the issue.

Can you please kindly assist me in trouble shooting this? I am incredibility grateful I found this tool and I'd really hate to lose the ability to use it now that I've experienced how helpful it is to my workflow.

Versions

1. MySIMBL version - 0.7.1 (71)
2. Spaces Renamer version - newest version

Does running pkill -9 Dock from Terminal resolve the issue?

Hello, any chance you can please kindly assist with further troubleshooting?

Can you check the following?

1. csrutil status, and let me know what it outputs.
2. Confirm that the Spaces Renamer is in the green state for MySIMBL, and it is running 1.6.1.
3. Can you paste the outputs of cat ~/Library/Containers/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer.plist and cat ~/Library/Containers/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer.currentspaces.plist

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.

1. disabled
2. Green and running 1.7.1
3. Wasn't 100% sure how I was supposed to pull the outputs in question 3, sorry but don't know what you mean by "cat." But I searched the url and located some files, I tried to copy/paste the text from the files in this reply but it kept reformatting everything when I hit "update comment." Can you please tell me how I can get you this information?

Running the command cat ~/Library/Containers/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer.plist in Terminal, just like csrutil status will output the contents of the file. You should just be able to copy and paste them in the Github comment, inside code block comments (three backticks like `):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>spaces_renaming</key>
    <dict>
        <key></key>
        <string>Main</string>
        <key>301928AE-EF14-4410-A060-922E57A959E2</key>
        <string>Typed URI Work</string>

        <string>iOS</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

You can also probably just attach the two Plists to a comment, and do it that way if it's easier.
