Mod Browsing Overhaul Open Beta

Seems it only uses the main files.

I have a mod that has 45 files: 2 main files, one is 124.7MB, the other is 573.2MB. 43 optional files that are between 416KB-283.9MB in size. The most recent file I uploaded was an optional file that is 1.9MB. On my profile it says the mod size is 124.7MB.

For my mod, showing how many files would be better than showing size because downloading the largest file is not necessary to use my mod.

Yes, this seems to be case. However, I have a mod with 7 main files - I've been uploading it in parts due to very large size and very, very, very slow upload speeds here. So the file size shown is the one of the most recently uploaded archive, not the total of all main files, which would be better.

I would think the total file size of all main files would be the best number to show.

Overall the look of the new design looks good. That said, the two things I would give serious consideration to (desktop view):

• The tile dimensions in general are too large, especially the news tiles, which end up looking horsey and hard to scan. I'd recommend using the existing tile dimensions.
• The space between tiles is too large, which also makes things look horsey and hard to scan. I'd recommend returning to the existing space between tiles. I noted that the space on the Nexus home page is different than the spacing on the individual game pages. The home page spacing is more reasonable.

I'd also second the search tool simply being a dropdown instead of the large modal window -- the dropdown is handy and unobtrusive searching for a mod and isn't as jarring as the modal taking over the page.

Oh, one other item -- I note that you're using fixed width on the main container on the desktop. It would be really nice if the page were responsive reacted to the browser width, such that the number of tiles shown across the page would grow or reduce based on screen resolution. You could still have some margin for aesthetic purposes, but if you have a larger screen, it seems like a lot of wasted space to retain that narrow, fixed-width center container.

Maybe it could be made an option for the author: Show file size or show total number of files.

Would also be nice if we could sort our files and not need to have a 'Main file' and 'Optional file', but instead being able to name them ourselves and create our own. Would be quite useful when you have many files on one page.
