Are there any Portable virtual desktop apps in development?

I see several different versions of VirtuaWin floating around the forums but they all seem to be dead.

I know DM2 had a PA.c development version, but the application itself hasn't been updated in eons so I doubt it will make it to a full PortableApps release.

I looked up the only other open source virtual desktop application I know, Virtual Dimension but that project seems dead too.

Am I out of luck?

Typically, if I try to browse SF for older versions, it times out, maybe because there are SO many files.
The beta interface works better - it still times out occasionally, but at least not EVERY time.:

Hello. Sorry if this question has been asked before, or if this is the wrong forum to post it in...

I want to:

1. Partition my USB thumb drive (Kingston DT 2.0, 4GB) so that i can install PortableApps on one of the partitions.

2. Make the PortableApps partition "read-only", so that viruses do not attack that partition.
(You know those filthy viruses that create autorun.inf files in the usb drives, so i don't want that stuff !)

============
Is it possible/planned to make application grouping? at least separators
Folders as it made in xp/w7 + separators could be the perfect thing for people who have a lots of portable applications.
============
Also i would like to suggest more configurable right menu, or even ability to hide it. I store my music and photos and other files encrypted and those folders are useless for me, but it could be nice if i can add some custom folders or even add explorer shourtcuts like my computer/control panel/cmd/etc.

Hello and sorry if the subject is somewhat confusing.
I am at a loss in the following matter:
I teach at college and all of our classrooms are fitted with a video projector and a computer, equipment I use for teaching. Since almost anybody is granted access to the computer it is highly likely that they are not free of viruses and malware.
As of now (since the 10+ infection) I used a usb stick to transfer data for the computer in my office to the one in the classroom.

Whatever happened to MuiltMedia PAL?

That was a good collection, and saved me the trouble of setting up my own.
I could not find it in a search here. Perhaps under another name?

A collection of Audio/Video players creators.

VLC Player
Cool Player
Infra Recorder
Audacity

and many others....

I had this downloaded on my old computer.
IS there a link to it that still works?

Hi

I was wondering if anybody had a link to an older portable version of skype.

In 5 they seem to have changed the way contacts are added and it appears to open an internet browser type window, however this is blocked by my works firewall so I would like to revert back to an earlier version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey there!

I just love it when there are so many new PA updates and new apps available and thought that I'd drop by and say a big "Thank you!"...

But then I thought what if others want to do the same (and I know there are many people here who want to)? What if everyone started their own Thank You thread... So why don't we all express our gratitude towards the whole PA team and vision here in this thread

On the Apps page the link to VirtualVolumesViewPortable is broken (typo in link: "volumews").

For new users it would be cool if they could select portable apps on a web page and when they made their choice, they could download a custom a zip file with the selected apps bundled in it. Since the portable apps installers simply copy the contents to the flash drive, this can easily be done on the server side. For those that don't understand this idea very clear: Mowes has something similar (see http://www.chsoftware.net/en/mowes/mowesmixer/mowesmixer.htm?step=2).
