NEW: Downloads & Updates Browser
Those that were registered users on the old site may recall that the user download area was designed to list all available libraries on the site in simple tables with download links available for the ones you owned.
This was more due to the limitations of the overall website of the time but many users liked this method as it easily displayed
libraries that one may be missing such as an upgrade or expansion that is not easily identified otherwise.
The default way the current site lists downloads is simply an ordered list which is fine for users with just a few downloads but after several requests to have the old style of download browsing bought back I have spent the last month developing a new download area that
allows you to browse all libraries easily.
download area menu overview
In your account area you will now find both the standard “Downloads” button which will simply list your available downloads and a new “Downloads & Update Browser” button which opens a new area that allows you to select a vendor and see all available libraries with download links showing for the libraries you own:
downloadUpdateBrowser02
You can easily see what libraries you own and information about any upgrades or crossgrades available, the current version of the library and the last updated date of the library to help keep you up to date. Clicking any library title takes you to the
main product page.
Hopefully this helps some users out, feedback is more than welcome.
