After the official update of version 1.9, I was pleasantly surprised to find that some new resources were given away by the authorities, and at the same time I found a problem with disk space utilization for content downloads.
Among the new resources given away, some resources are general resources that can be used by all three software, but after the resource download is completed, I find that the resources of the three software are stored separately, which leads to a waste of disk space utilization.
For example, the following figure shows the "Spray Paint Textures by MiksKS" resource, which takes up close to 1GB disk space, and if the three software I own download it at the same time, it puts a lot of pressure on my disk space.
I might be able to store these resources in one place and invoke them through import and export. But I think the content download feature should make it easier for users to download and install purchased resources. So I think this is where the current content download function should be improved. It's not a bug, but it does have a big impact on me.
Perhaps this problem can be solved by setting up a unified resource folder to store these resources and distinguishing the resource loading permissions of each software through the built-in parameters of the parameter configuration file or resource file. This is just my rough idea of a solution, and of course I don't understand the difficulty and cost of implementing this solution. But if it can be implemented and solved, does it mean that further upgrades of Studiolink, sharing of workspace between software and preference settings are possible (it would be great if you could, isn't it a pleasant surprise to find that when you install publisher, startup software, it automatically applies the configuration under your designer and photo roles)
