The chmod/chgrp trick isn't working for me on a macbook:

550 % ll /MyApplications/utils/VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops -rwxrwsr-x 1 ryan procmod 426140 Sep 22 00:37 /MyApplications/utils/VirtueDesktops.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtueDesktops*

I'm still getting the persistent auth stuff. Lemme know if you want a backtrace or somethin'

I’m new to VirtueDektops, but like it a lot. My complements to the authors. Now for some suggestions… what I would like to see is a way to have different sets of desktop icons for different desktops. Another nice feature would be activation of the frontmost window while changing desktops.

With the latest release of parallel, the ability to change desktop is lost again

I am having the known issue specified in known issues, VirtueDesktops is repeatedly asking for admin password. I have done the permission and group changes specified and it still repeatedly asks for admin permissions. I uninstalled it and deleted all loose files related to it, and installed various older versions and now they all do the same thing. I can’t get any version to work now.

Same issue as highpass. I’m loving the latest version - thank you! But the light sensor is so sensitive it is just unusable.

I agree with the last poster’s complaint about the sensitivity of the ambient light sensor being too extreme. I’d also like to know why I’m still limited to only four desktops when the inspector has room for like 80. I suppose I can poke around Library and copy a desktop, and have it work, but a way through the GUI should be on your roadmap if it isn’t, and make it a top priority, 4 desktops is not enough.

Evaluation
Production
and “Playing” as well… (SecondLife or WoW in a Window, anyone?)

Just outlining that it’s wholely possible to absolutely need six.

Thank you, have a great day, keep up the great work!!! Spyro Ammon

Why don’t you guys add a plugin so that you can rename the names of desktops? I think it would be an awesome plugin!

Welcoming the addition of built in light sensor switching, but it’s way, way too sensitive even with the slider all the way to the left. I find it switching desktops magically in normal light situations without any movement over the light sensors whatsoever. Shadowbook doesn’t have this problem, but obviously requires three 10ghz core duos to run.

Hoping this will be fixed in later releases

ok, now all works.. but the name of desktops are all in the same desktop, they are overlapped.
