On http://download.opensuse.org/, can the default be changed to list all?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On http://download.opensuse.org/, can the default be changed to list all entries, not just 20? Every time I enter I want to find something, not find it, notice it has several pages, go up, change to "all", rinse, repeat. Not practical. If not for everybody, then in a cookie, save preferences. Thanks. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

If I am not mistaken, the whole reasoning for that change was to shorten the access time - listing everything just takes too long.

Try using the search field. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.7°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Takes even longer to peruse several pages.

Ah! Will try that. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

It is tricky to find balance here, which will suit everyone. The current idea is that everyone will be able to choose own preference and (after logging in) will see a personalized page. (But it is in the end of priorities at the moment) Few more things to try: 1. There is /download prefix which will load the html version (which can be few times slower for big folders), e.g. download.opensuse.org/download/ 2. It is a hack, but maybe somebody finds it useful: It is possible to trick the server by overriding User-Agent of browser to something, which doesn't look like a popular browser. Then server will reply html version (as it does e.g. for curl). 3. It is possible to use patterns or regex in url: https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.4/iso/?P=*x86*Current.iso https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss/x86_64/?REGEX=^vim(-|~).*

Speaking for myself, the search field does it for me. Sometimes I need to refine the argument, but the search is fast.

Nice! I like that.

I haven't tried, but does the search field also work with a regex? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

I must admit I didn't know for sure, so I've tried "^.im-" in https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.4/repo/oss/x86_64/ and it looks working properly. It may have tricky issues searching for numbers, because it will show matches in size and probably mtime columns - something to tune.
