I think this is especially true for major alternative systems, like Psionics and the Path of War. They're deviating pretty far from Paizo's published route on Pathfinder, and probably should be stand-alone add-ons for those who want them much like the Spheres of Power content maintained by The Iron Golem. I think that's a better solution for them.
I can see how it may look that way but merging it into "one" pack saves me SO MUCH time. Plus parts of PoW feeds on data from Psionics and so does Eberron parts I built. Meaning having it all in one allows those pieces to build on each other very easily. In addition the underlying "mechanics, components, and procedures" I wrote can be used across all books/Things now. I like "write once" use many times.

Just "releasing" of the Packs is down from 6hrs of work to about 30 minutes sense I went from many packs to just one. That is a HUGE time saving alone.

Sorry one Pack does not work well for everyone but if I had to support multiple Pathfinder Packs again I would most likely have to walk away. It just requires WAY to much effort.

I believe that in PFS play, we're required to use the latest versions of anything that was changed in this way.

That's a fine way to show gratitude and respect for someone who does the major share of contribution of free third party support for this software entirely on his own time.

Chemosh, I say use whatever method works for you, and if that causes problems for some ungrateful prat, they always have the option of removing your software from their Herolab seat.

I am sorry, mate, you obviously misunderstood me. I was making a joke along the lines of SC looking at this problem that was being heaped on his shoulders and saying "NO F'ing way"

It was not meant to be disrespectful, quite the opposite actually, I was sympathizing with his hard work
