My Downloads are starting to really fill up espically with the purchase of all the DCC that I just ordered. Would it be possible to get some way to organize the PDFs? Put each product line under its own tab? I can understand if the user cannot make thier own but if it was done automatically it would make life so much simplier.
Some basic ideas could be:
Pathfinder Companions
Pathfinder Adventure Path 1
Pathfinder Adventure Path 2
And then perhaps by Company.
Thanks

I mentioned something like this to Gary in the chat room a few weeks back and he said it was an issue he was looking into and maybe even working on (I don't recall the details of the conversation exactly). I agree that it would be nice to be able to organize them as best suits our individual needs. Rearranging them as well as minimizing thumbnails would be great!
Consider this my vote for my downloads organizational options.

I have 353 and it is a pain to find things... Even putting them in alphabetical order it is sometimes hard to find something I want. And I have ordered something twice because I could not find it...
I would love to be able to organize my downloads or to have them put into folders by type of product. That would rock....

353? Holy dicksnot! You're a loyal customer, my man. They should send you a pizza.
What annoys me about the new organization is that they list them by publisher. I liked being able to see the latest items I purchased, now I have to sort through who published what.
Its REALLY annoying.
There is a link that is supposed to sort the DL by date, but I keep getting the publisher list.
Try to sort by name: nope publisher list.
This is even less useful than the old way.
How do we get it to sort by name or most recent purchases. Don;t really care about the publisher until AFTER I DL it.
Thanks
I'd appreciate the option to group by product family, i.e. Pathfinder RPG, Player Companion, Chronicles. Possibly with a way to collapse the categories. One exception would be playtest documents that should have their own section regardless of what actual product family they belong to.
Also, either hiding, or having the one file per chapter download on the same line I think I have about 86 files in my list and 27 of those are double ups.

The new count is much higher. Maybe I missed some before or maybe it is because it has been several months but... I certainly see why sometimes I miss things and Gary the changes you made since this thread started does help. I would still love the folders. It would be great to have a place to put older items that I am not likely to download again - like my old Dungeon and Dragon Magazines, etc.
Thanks for all the hard work you do Gary.
OK, Display Flat List seems to do what I'm looking for. Thanks for the feedback.

The Download page has been dramatically improved in the past day or so. It now organizes everything not only by company, but it breaks it down into sub-groupings that appear to mirror the organization of the product pages.
So, for example, the listings from Super Genius Games are broken out into Advanced Options, Archetypes, Classes, Feats, Items, Kragnar, Loot 4 Less, Magic, Mythic Menagerie, One Night Stands, Races, and Templates.
The Paizo products themselves are broken out into their various lines, with books that support 3.5 separated out from those that are Pathfinder RPG compatible. They even have a separate breakout for each Adventure Path, so you can easily find all of the Chapters of a given path quickly.
It's totally awesome!!!

+1...with my ever-growing list of downloads, the new organization makes it fast and easy to locate what I'm looking for. The biggest issue for me has always been when a product is updated for errata and I have to re-download it. Sifting through the list was burdensome. That is no longer a problem. Thanks Vic/Gary!

The new organization is a huge improvement. It's so much easier to find stuff that you bought ages ago. Thanks guys!
One thought - someday would it be possible to indicate those files that have changed since you last downloaded them? I know that this probably isn't something that you can do quickly, but it would be a great feature for the future.
There is an apparent problem in the Downloads page. There are two separate entries for Serpent Skull PDF’s.
One is posted as: Paizo Publishing, LLC: Pathfinder Adventure Path #37–42: Serpent's Skull (PFRPG)
and comes just after Kingmaker Pdf’s. But only has the Player’s Guide in it.
The second comes further down the page after the Season 2 scenarios and is listed as : Paizo Publishing, LLC: Serpent's Skull. It has the actual Adventure Path books in it.
Just my 2 cp.

This is on the to-do list. (Actually, I think it might even be on the "partly implemented" list.)
I Love the new format for downloads. It makes finding things a lot easier, and looks a lot cleaner. Thanks!
Hurray!
Thanks, this is much better!
