Lock Spaces

[smogsy]

Heres the deal i have a new macbook
Spec in sig,

im using it as a desktop hooked up to external Monitor

at the moment when i swap spaces both screens swap (2 spaces per space if you like)

i would like to be able to move another space but macbook screen is locked on to space 1

for example

Space: 1 Monitor 1 = Live Video Feed
Space: 1 Monitor 2 = Blank Space

Space 1: Mointor 1 = Live Video Feed
Space 2 : Mointor 2 = Msn

Hey, are spaces being confused here with displays?

Doesn't seem like it. I think he wants to be able to switch to a certain space on the external monitor, but have the space on the MacBook's display to always stay at Space 1. Currently, when you switch spaces it will switch for all displays.

I don't know of anyway to lock the spaces to a specific display, but this is something I was also wondering. So if anybody knows, please post.

jason your exactly right thats what i would like to do now to just find the answer

This is not possible. Each single space spans both monitors, so when you change space it changes on both screens.

actaully it is possible because i just done it

Go into spaces menu (in sys pref) press the + pick ur app then arrow at the end of the app click it set it to all Spaces

when i switch spaces it always stays woot on my macbook screen

Anyone know how to do the above in Lion?

Lion doesn't have Spaces, it has Mission Control. Don't know if you can do that with Desktops or not.

Make sure you have more than one desktop.

Open the application you want to have on all desktops,
right click on it's icon in the dock > Options > (under Assign To) All Desktops.
