Virtual products/Combinations + downloadables question

[gunleik]

Hi

 

Working on a platform for both downloadables and physical products.

Ideally it should be able to register a product both as a physical and virtual product with variations.

 

Example with software:
 

Downloadables:
Mac
Windows
Linux

 

or physical

DVD

 

With different pricepoints for each variation available and pointing at different downloadables for each variation.

Right now I could do with a much simpler approach, though, just opening for different combinations with different pricepoints.

What I am setting up is a small image database, and the different variations point to different lisencing models. In addition it is possible to buy a physical print of the images.

As far as I see it now, I will have to enter each item up to 5 times.
If I could have variations on downloadables, I would at least get away with 2.
And I see that it gets clumsy to navigate.

 

So just opening for combinations while still pointing to the same file, would be a great help.

 

Next problem is the server upload http limit.
We have "enough" space and some of our products can go in the 100 MB - xGB range as to size.
These are uploadable by ftp (for now)

 

Is it possible to replace a product with another with the same name through ftp, or will the download be limited by the filsizes uploaded somehow?

Best
