Downloading after a big shopping spree

I am usually so excited that I download and unzip straight away. Then I look for a reason to play with all the new goodies.

 

I am another one that downloads right away. I also create the kit folder under the designer folder and download directly to it. I don't always unzip immediately but don't wait days to do it.

I download right away because when I did some reorganizing and checking kits to invoices, I found I bought a kit and never downloaded it. It had been over a year but was still in shop so I was able to get it after the link was reactivated.

 

I download right away.

 

I download immediately. I have a file for the 3 stores I shop from, and a sub file in each of those, that's called Download. There the zip files can stay until I unzip them, but often I do that immediately as well.

 

I download right away. And then I unzip into my downloads folder. So, it's a total mess. And then I turn on a movie and sit and sort all the kits into the way I want. This way I can make sure I downloaded all the parts, there aren't any corrupted zips, and that I'm not missing anything.

 

I'm so excited about my goodies that I download and unzip right away. I also unzip directly to the location that I'm going to store the files because it makes my life easier.

I have been doing the following lately, adding ~~ to the beginning of the folder name (so ~~lgrieveson_welcome_kit would be the name of the folder) so I know what I haven't scrapped with yet. So anything with ~~ sorts to the beginning of the main folder and I can see at a glance what I need to use first! When I do scrap with it, it is easy to remove the ~~ from the folder name.

 

i download to a folder that i save everything, in a folder by invoice 220505_Lily_2207, then run check on zips. and there it sets.. used to unzip to its perment home, but at moment i so behind.

 

I download right away and they go in a "to be organized" folder. I usually try to unzip and organize right away too but that doesn't always happen.

 

I download right away, usually I put on a movie or whatever so that I don't stare at the screen wishing things will go faster. This dumps all zips into the download folder. From there, I separate collabs into store folders, and kits by individual designers in their own folders. I unzip and consolidate as I go.

And, now because I have windows 11 and my folder images don't work anymore, I lament over it...

I download right away.

 

I download right away to a monthly "digi-scrap" file (EHD on my work computer ... shhhhh!), along with a copy of the kit preview and sample LOs. At the end of the month those zip files get transfer to an USB drive, then to my digi-scrap EHD. I normally don't unzip a kit until I use it.

True be told I have a ton of unzipped kits ... my digi-hoard is as bad as my paper hoard, LOL!

 

I can't help...I'm OCD about organizing so I usually just do mine right away

 

that might be a way for me to get caught up faster, i have always dowwnloaded to a folder for month or so, but brillant idea of just keeping zips in stash

 

I download right away, but I don't always organize right away. I'm just about finished indexing the items I bought from 3 stores over the weekend.

 

That's exactly what I do. As someone else who hates the unzipping and organizing process, I think it's a case of just making yourself do it. I only buy from my computer so that I can download right away, and everything I download goes into my folder of kits waiting to be organized. It can take me a few weeks to get around to unzipping and even longer to get the kits organized and put away. (I like having them stay in the new kit folder for a bit so I see them and am more likely to use them, but it's really laziness that makes me not organize them, LOL.) I tend to unzip when I'm procrastinating starting a layout and organize when I'm in a scrapping slump and want to do scrap-related tasks other than actual scrapping.
