Organized Plugin Listings :)

Was just thinking how just a tiny bit of organization would really help the search for plugins. I say this after I have been "up and down the aisles" a ton of times in the plugin store and I keep finding things I didn't see before. Maybe there is a reason they are layed out as they are, if so forget I mentioned it but for the powers that be just as a simple end-luzer its tough finding things.

Hi @redspider, it has always been like this for as long as I can remember. I use browser 'find' to search for things on that page now, but I agree it is a bit unwieldy.

It isn't far away. I have seen a draft. It sorts by a host of options and will be just what we all need.

@redspider, mid last year amongst talk of a redesign I submitted the following idea of a simple tabbed listing. http://www.demmob.com.au/BT-server/bugtracker/pluginList.php I was hoping that someone in the loop at BT might have been able to connect it to the BT database so I wouldn't need to enter all the data into my own database. In the end I gave up on it as it was going to consume too much time cutting & pasting required info. It was also then that I had thought of an even simpler easier method of filtering the list! Use your Web Browser Bookmarks Bar! I already had a tab for Buzztouch that contained links to all things I use regarding BT. So I simply created a sub folder called plugins. Then I created three other sub folders in that one called: Dual OS, iOS Only & Android Only. Now whenever I view a new plugin, I simply bookmark it's page link into the relavent bookmark folder! Paul.

Paul: Rock on. Thats a lot better than caveman searching. Since I am new here I have no idea who actuallu are the powers that be. Are we Borg or is there a chief? Whats it take to push little (BIG) things like this.
