Multiple versions of file

[piatkowski]

Hello,
I was wondering how to modify jDownloads to work like this...
In many software portals (download catalogues) user can view file details and download 32-bit or 64-bit version of software.
My question is how to do that? My idea is to use custom fields from #6 to #10 (I'd like to use max. 5 additional versions of file).
I can modify backend:
- hide fields #6 - #10 from custom fields tab
- make additional form to upload files or paste URLs
- in controller, I handle file upload and update custom fields values in database
In frontend, it is easy to view custom fields #6-#10 as select box.
Download urls have additional variable ?version with values from 1 to 5
In frontend controller I could get value $file_version = (int)$_GET['version'];

I'm not very familiar with jDownloads so my question is: is it right way to modify this only for one project? Maybe it could be done using custom jDownloads plugin? Is there chance you add this feature in next updates?
