I am not sure how you enable swipe to only effect the screen you are on?

Do you mean effect only the monitor you are on?

How can you have it so that a space is only a single monitor?

If i have two monitors and I use safari in full screen my second screen becomes a peice of cloth, and I cant use it at all.

I think you mean "affect".

Exactly what we have been moaning about.

I like to use, say Photoshop, on my main monitor and have Photoshop (or Mac) Help pages on my second screen. Saves me having to have the paper manual open competing for desk space with my favourire Mac or Photoshop magazine.  Sometimes I like to have Textedit on my second screen so that I can type something at the same time as reading these web pages. No doubt you have all come across forums that log you out while you are typing something so that you lose the lot.  I use TextEdit or Pages instead and then paste it across. I don't necessarily need two screens but it is often helpful.

100% agreed! full screen was working just fine for years, now apple decides to destroy it for no good reason. i remember my professor used to say, if it's not broken DON'T FIX IT! apple never got that lesson apparently.

I can't do a proper presentation where projector is secondary display. When I switch desktops in my main screen, the projector also switch desktops. It's quite annoying.
