We have over 30 clients using WP-Filebase Pro. It's been pulled from wordpress.org and we are hoping to replace it with your product.
We purchased and tested WP File Download on a dev site and it looks like it would work well, except the transition is pretty painful (and expensive) from what we've seen so far.
We exported the files and categories from Filebase Pro and imported them to WP FIle Download without any problem, but it appears that we would then need to go to every page and every link on those pages and click to replace the existing links with new ones for WP FIle Download. At 1/2 minute a file, we are in the range of 10 hours of work for some of our sites to do this (likely causing them to not proceed with this).
1. Your product puts two numbers in the URL for the file link - is it possible to remove those so that the file links can remain the same? We have clients with hundreds and hundreds of files and some have clients that bookmark the files quite a bit. They don't want to pay to do this work and then also have to set up redirections.
WP-Filebase Pro URL .../download/community_economic_development/climate-change-plan-final-for-web.pdf
WP File Download of the same file.... /download/73/community_economic_development/9703/climate-change-plan-final-for-web.pdf
2. The look of the links on the site. We don't see a way to just have a client-entered (or uploaded) file name be the link to the file. [See screenshot 2 attached - WP File download link is first, then two using Filebase Pro (that's how they want it to look - just a small icon, the file name linked to the file and the size), then another from WP File Dowload.
3. In the site editor, Filebase pro would show a list of links with text like filebasepro/3, filebasepro/4. Your product shows an icon with no useful information on it to identify which file is which in a list of them on the page. This makes it difficult to edit one file in a list. See screenshot attached - it has a WP_filedownload link, then two from Filebase Pro, then one from WP FIle download, then one from Filebase Pro - we tried putting in a caption to see if that would help, as you can see, it didn't.)
We'd love to find out that there is an easy solution to these issues. Are we missing settings somewhere?

Hi,
OK noted for the migration, but we can't do better, as the migration system handles various WP plugins
About the single file design, have you already configured the single design manager?
It's accessible using WP File Download > Icon builder > Single file (see attached).
Cheers,
