question about multiple monitors with mac 10.7 ...

[eroxx]

I just got a second monitor, and am figuring out how to best optimize it ...

Is there any way to move to a different "desktop" on one monitor, while the 2nd monitor maintains what it is currently showing??

Thanks!

System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement > Mirror Displays (uncheck)

If you're talking about having different Spaces in different displays:
SPACES - How to 1. Use with dual monitors 2. Use in full screen videos 3. Disable it

I appreciate the prompt reply but that's not what I'm looking for ...

Here's what I mean:

On monitor #1 I have omnifocus on full screen.

On monitor #2 (my imac monitor) I have chrome.

If I swipe to a new "space", I'd like it to do that solely for the monitor that I'm on ... IOW, I want a new space on monitor #2, but still want to see omnifocus on #1 ... ???

Got it - so essentially it can't be done
