Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hi!
Usually, administrator adds new files 1 time.
After that admin only updates files.
In this time very uncomfortably to updates files, because I need to make too many steps:
1. scroll page to select option "Mark Download as Updated"
2. press on Files Data tab to change files data.

Moreover, I never edit Publishing Options Tab...

I think that Files Data tab should be on the top and "Mark Download as Updated" option should be in Files Data tab as checkbox.

Hi
There are many reasons why a Download may be updated, not just the file itself.  So it is really better in the general position above all the tabs.  There are some improvements in hand with regard to getting dates and size direct from the file, which many people use.  Also I find it a pain to have to get the file type icon if uploading from front end.  The selection still needs to be there so the user can overide but if it was blank then the system could find it.

Rather than change the order of the tabs an alternative would be to open the files tab rather than the publish tab if loading as an edit. Will have to check if this is possible!  Changing the order of the tabs between Create and Edit could be confusing, especially if they are relatively new to jDownloads

Yes, if open the files tab possible by default - it will be great.
Your screenshot - is editing downloads on frontend.
"Updated file" option placed very good. But I use inly admin panel for create or edit downloads.
