Hi all,
If you reorganised the folders you wouldn't receive updates correctly. This is unavoidable and the file structure exists for this reason. Also, many users like to share FPM's with other users, this requires that the file structure for the media is maintained, allowing teams to develop in tandem.
We actually moved away from what you are all suggesting because users felt that the folders were filling too quickly and it was becoming hard to find media. I've have almost all the store media on my machine for testing purposes. If the buildings for example, were in the buildings folder alone I'd have over 1000 models in a single folder to look through. Also don't forget, that while media from the store is listed under purchased/Artist name is is then list under the correct subfolder, e.g. building, boxes, etc.
I would however agree that an improved search function is required.
