Could I use this tool to display screen labels from yabai? about spaces-renamer HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm not sure exactly how this could be done. SpacesRenamer reads the names from ~/Library/Containers/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer/com.alexbeals.spacesrenamer.plist. If you could hook up a command to write to both, or to somehow write from wherever yabai stores it into that file as well, then that would work. At this time I'm going to mark this as wontfix, because I'm not planning on working on yabai interactions, but feel free to submit a pull request if you want.

I see. Is there a command I need to run to update the names or are they read automatically from file every time? Looking at Wikipedia there seem to be many versions of plist. Which one does SpacesRenamer expect?

Yabai has a command line interface so it's easy to read the label of a space using the command I listed above. I agree that this should not be part of SpacesRenamer but a separate script.

The .plist file is just a written NSDictionary. If you open the file locally you should be able to see the format that it's normally written in.

Sounds good, thanks for clarifying.
