I don't know if others would find this useful, but I would. As a subscriber my downloads list is getting quite long, I dread to think what superscribers see. One think that jumps out at me is that for every download I have (almost) I have two versions; 1 PDF per chapter, or single PDF.

I almost exclusively use the "1 per" version, and it would be really nice to be able to just drop the view of the "single" downloads.

How about a radio button at the top of the page? Three options: Single File, Multi File, or all?

I would love to be able to sort even further, maybe into the separate lines; Adventure Path, Chronicles, Companions, Modules, Scenerios and Other. I recently downloaded the Updated Guide to the Pathfinder Society and it took me about 5 minutes to find the original file hidden amoungst everything else.

I wouldn't mind a sorting option, and especially a delete option in my downloads, I'd love to be able to create my own tabs and shuffle things around to tabs as I needed, that way I could have a tab for APs, a tab for Rulebooks, A tab for misc. A tab for stuff I downloaded once and don't want anymore. etc. etc. etc.

See, I need exactly the reverse. The 1 per chapter files are utterly useless to me.

I'm sure we'd all like those things, but they become quite the pain to code, and the one constant in the years I've browsed these boards, is that Gary needs 36 hours in the day, plus another 4 for eating and sleep.

I tried to keep the request small, so it has a better chance of getting done between other projects...

That's exactly the point, you get a button that decides if you see single files, or multiple, or everything, that you can play with every time you go to the downloads page.... Then everyone gets a shorter list if they want it, but can find the other type if they want to...

Oh and as for what superscribers see, I think I counted mine today at 131 different choices. I know there's about a dozen or so modules I don't have that would be in there had I gone superscriber earlier.

This is a case where some of the code will come from other navigation improvements elsewhere in the store, and some of this work has actually been done already. I think it'll probably be a while before Gary can get back to it, but we do have plans to make navigation of lengthy download lists much easier.

Yeah mine is getting silly long. But it is not to bad since all the new stuff shows up at the top. I just make sure to DL everything as soon as I can, then I keep the zipfiles saved on a backup drive. So even if i need the pdf again I already have the zip file.

In the meantime, keep this workaround in mind: Ctrl-F 8^)

I can do Ctrl-F and 8 at the same time ok, but getting that caret and parenthesis at the same time really kinks the fingers!

Thanks Vik!

I do notice that your expert side stepping strikes again. Damn it, I will have to frame my questions better.

How about having breaking it down by year as the primary, then have sub catagories withing that?

We can do better than that. The system knows some stuff about the products, and we can group like with like.
