Downloads Organization

I have trouble finding certain items in my downloads. Would be great if the page could be organized. I'm thinking something like grouping types of products. Maybe one category for third party publishers or one for adventure path. Something like that.

Providing better organization of My Downloads is definitely creeping higher on the to-do list every day, but we've still got a few major things in front of it.

I live for the day Vic. My downloads is slowly getting bigger and when your HD crashes and you have to redownload it is a pain.

Taught me to back up Pathfinder stuff. :)

Yay! Finally, better download organization. Good going Vic.

Organizationally, nothing changed... but Gary finally removed the "personalize" step, and cleaned things up a bit. Organization changes are still on the to-do list, at the same priority as before...

Much better. Thank you!

Just because this thread is better than starting a new one:

The My Downloads page still says to click the "personalize File" link. Very minor, but worth noting.

Sometimes I have to click a link twice to get it to work. The first time it just reloads the My Downloads page. The second time brings up the download dialog box (the one that says it should start in 5 seconds). Not that big a deal, but it is something that should be looked at.

I have noticed this. One thing that would be useful, would be a you tried to download this on some specific day info. I know I have multiply downloaded some items because they did not download where I would have initially tried.

First I want to say thank you for the new downloads page. That is SO MUCH better than before. That is something I have been wanting for a long long time now. So thank you Gary for your hard work.

+1 seriously.

Simply organizing things by publisher is a big improvement. Next thing i would LOVE to see (time permitting of course) would be tabs for different kinds of Paizo products (much in the different subsections for the forums) Like on group for APS, one for Companions, one for Society scenarios, etc. That would be double secret awesome.

I don't know if this has already been said but... I like the sectional organization.
I would like to make one caveat, there is now no notice of "pesonalization" as was before.This is for internet"slow" people like me who end up downloading IE pages instead of docs, and is frustrating. So please but the "personalizer" back in some form.

An aside to Jeff or Vic , when the PFS Guide updates again, as we all KNOW it will, can you guys get together and put it @ the TOP of the window? That way those of us with LOOONG lists of downloads don't have to search? PLEASE?!

For the most part, I like the new download organization, BUT ... it really doesn't work well with the iPad. I used to be able to navigate using GoodReader and download a file directly to my iPad. Now all I get is the script customization file. I did eventually get one of the files directly down (I think via the main web-browser, which eventually allowed me to download the file to GoodReader, but I'm still not certain).

I'd like to see this aspect of things improved (or tell me what I'm doing wrong).

Thanks

I'm loving the new and vastly improved downloads page - it's much more organized and not having the personalizer makes things a lot faster and easier.

Hmm. We know that there are others with iPads that aren't having any trouble.

Gary will look into it when he gets a chance, though...


One thing that might be nice is the option to hide/collapse certain download items so they are not always visible. I like the sorting by company, but there are some downloads I don't want to always have to scroll past and the option to hide them would be useful.
