Hello,
Does everyone here download the whole package for a new release or do you guys download individual parts?
Also do you download separate plugin, examples or docs archives?
We thought about simplifying our releases and not do those individual packages any more.
e.g. keep:
MBS-Xojo-Plugins194.dmg
Remove those:
MBS-Xojo-Plugins-docs194.dmg
And parts:
MBS Audio Plugin.dmg
Thanks for letting me know.
Sincerely

Christian … I always download the entire package because I know I’ve got everything I need in one, single place on my hard drive and I’m getting EVERYTHING at once and don’t have to go back online to find other things (e.g., examples, etc.) when I need them later. It’s a “convenience issue” to me.

Stupid question: can’t you see in Google Analytics how many times your different packages were downloaded?
We don’t use Google Analytics. I know what my Webserver statistics say and just wondered if someone explicitly needs those downloads.
I download the whole package BUT found the complete documentation (pdf) to be unbearably slow so got just the documentation for the plugin (MapKit) I was working with.
We’re using only less than a handful of your Plugins. So we always download the individual Plugin parts.
Oh, that would be annoying. I’d expect 1 documentation PDF for each Plugin to be available if I needed to download the whole package (but just use a couple of Plugins).
I always download the whole package, but then I have a script that copies only the plugins that we use to Xojo’s plugins folder.
I always download the whole package, but also the zip with the individual plugin-PDFs.
We’ll keep the individual PDFs, no worries.
But I have yet to find a client, who prefers the parts downloads.

You already have
Sounds reasonable. One can pick out the needed Plugins - all or just a couple of them.
Not just keep. Include them in the “whole package”.
Then you can/could even get rid of one more download-file.
I download everything, every time. I never know when I might need a plugin I don’t usually use, or need to look for an example.

I download the DMG every time and use Plugins Pro to load just the ones I need. It is a 1 minute option and much simpler than it used to be.
I always download the complete DMG
Why did you guys answer a thread with over a year in age?
