Hi! I've been using PlayOnLinux ever since I started reusing Ubuntu as my main OS again. After many trial and errors, I have one main question, is it ok to put more than one app or game into one wineprefix if they depend on each other AND are using different Wine versions? I want to do this because I want to save space on my netbook

IS BELOW EXAMPLE OK TO USE IN PLAYONLINUX

EXAMPLE:
Wineprefix 1:

TVU Player--->wine version 1.1.23---->Depends Windows Media 10 or higher
Windows Media 10--->wine version 1.0.1
Example Game 2---->wine version 9.8---->Depends Windows Media 10 or higher

Yes it's possible but i don't think you'll save much space because every prefix takes only ca. 5mb hard disk space. If you've got other partitions with space then you may wish to use unofficial plugin POL Helper to make your prefixes elsewhere.
