Few feature requests
-
1. I want to show how much file count downloads just on post page and not page where I use shortcode like [mdocs]. Now it showed in both cases.
2. Can we use clean URL for file links? Now we has link like https://yoursite.com/?mdocs-file=212 but it would be great for SEO if link will be like https://yoursite.com/mdocs-file/212/
So, now if I have clean URL my document post url has structure like https://yoursite.com/mdocs-posts/filename/ but links for files didn’t have this structure.To be continued…

#1 I will add to the feature request list not a problem.
#2 You could easily do this yourself using apache mod rewrite rules. For me to do something like that would be a server side nightmare!!
#1 I hope you understood that count download is just one thing that can be customizing. We have other values like rating etc. It also will be good if user can select where it will displayed.
#2 Ok, I understood you. But, not so many users can do this so it also will be a nightmare to all them when they want this SEO thing) Or you can post in FAQ section instruction for all users how they can do. It’s just a suggestion and you don’t need to do it. Thank you anyway.

1. yep I understand, you want different values for both post page and list page.
2. A FAQ might be an easier solution, I don’t want to get into rewrite rules with this plugin as stated before it would be a massive undertaking.
3. Suggestion to dropdown menu. Maybe it will be better to use next sequence: Preview, Download, Versions, Description, Goto Post. It’s no matter to do exact, my goal is to place first Preview and then just Download. If I click at PDF file I may see him in browser, so Preview is my choice. But, a lot of people will clicks at Download like a robot, because this goes as first value.
reordering of drop download list got it π
One more to #3. Rename Manage File to Edit. Why? I’m embarrassed when I need to edit the publication what to choose: Manage File or Manage Versions. It’s hard to explain, but users remember phrase Edit and trying to find it.
Also, we need to use only Edit and not Edit File, the same to Delete and not Delete File. Why? Because this action will do thing to document and not just for file. So, if I choose Delete File, there also will be deleted post. The same thing to Edit File (currently it called Manage File): when I use this and then I see text “Updating Document…”. I hope you understood reasons for this changes)4. Add an ability to turn on/off footer <th> at <table>. Reason? Now we can click to sorting values in table header and footer. But when I use few shortcodes for category/folder and my tables are small then this footer <th> takes too much place and looks ugly on page.
5. Usability to subfolder clicks. When I click on subfolder the page is reloading and stay on top. May be you can use anchor and scroll down to table after page reloading? Situation: I have page with a lot of text and your table placed at the bottom of page. When I click on subfolder and page is reloading then I need to scroll to the bottom manually… and this is I need to do each time. Many users will don’t do this and just leave page.
Additional info to #2.
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_rule#Basic_Usage may be this can be done very easy.. you have the same url structure as at example.6. Reworking tab Versions at post page. Currently we have table structure:
File | Version | Date Modified | Download | Current
And we can do it better like this:
File | Version | Date Modified | CurrentColumn File: file name must be link to file. You can place download icon before this link.
Why? Because when I have long document name and long file name my column File is long and not usable for me at all. I don’t know why I see it if it useless. If I want to know which document name is it I can see it in <h2> tag. If I want to download file I must go to column Download. And this is strange usability. Better way if I wouldn’t see real file name before I clicked on the link to download.
If you want, I can do for you 2 images where you can see how it now and how it can be after this improvement.-

there are options in settings menu for most of this stuff. Take a look at Options > Settings for a full list of customization.
There is no settings to do what I wrote.
Options > Settings > Configuration Settings > Hide File Name
Will hide the file name:

https://i.imgur.com/qXRAo6g.png π did you see that this is not work in my case?
yes you are when looking at the version tab the file name is still there. I will fix that in the next version. π
it’s not suggestion, but just asking: why you use double <small> if it can be done just with one tag? Example:
<small><small class="label label-info">Updated</small></small> -
