If you do a wallpaper, and release it in multiple resolutions, it would be nice if you either released them at different times so as not to flood the site, or tar them up and put them in one section.
Thanks :) the wallpaper is very nice btw

Uhm, why would this help? I mean, why should people that want the 1024 version wait for it while the 1600 is released? I guess people would then download the 1600 and not use the 1024 version (which was my intention, because downscaling does not work so good if X does it :) Or If I release 1024 first, people would immidiately ask for the 1600 version.
"or tar them up and put them in one section."
I didn't know this was possible. In any event, putting them into one tar has certain disadvantages:
* I cannot put it in the proper category (it is neither 1024 nor 1600 etc). This means people browsing only "their" category will miss it. If I have a slow modem, 1024 at the desktop, then I wont browse the 1600 category at all. Vice versa, people only wanting high-quality pictures probably don't browse the 1024. So some people would miss it (you can see that there are different comments at the 1600 and 1024 section to prove my point :-)
* the download would get rather big, hurting the people with slower connections
I would say the only two working options are:
* releasing a 1600 version only
* or putting it into all categories
Is there an "official" policy on this?
I choose and would choose again the second option because I care for the quality of my work :-)
I am sorry that this seems to "flood" the "latest" list. Maybe the code of this site can be changed to let te author flag releases as "don't put up on 'latest' list", so that only the 1600 version would appear.
Anyway, thanx for your comment!
