This image leads me to believe that you don't actually want different images, you want to use the "spanned" scaling option to have the same image spanned across your displays instead of duplicated. Is that correct?

@Daniel if that is a common format for wide wallpapers, it could be an additional feature, but i really want different images.

i have my macbook with 2 external displays arranged like shown in 2012-MBA-displays-640x479.png, so i want a wide wallpaper, which i have in 2 files, for the 2 big screens and a different picture for the internal display. (if i unplug the external displays, the wallpaper should stay)
