 GMS2: My Library UX improvement suggestions

GameMaker Studio 2 has a much better interface for the Marketplace My Library as compared to GMS1.x, but there are a few things that I would love to see improved with it.
  1. The "New Version" category only shows LITERALLY items for which you already have some version downloaded, and for which a newer version is available for download. It does NOT show items for which you have purchased, but never downloaded before. This makes hunting for newly purchased assets in My Library a HUGE pain. Please have EVERYTHING that is "new" (whether a brand new purchase, or a update to an already-downloaded asset) show up here.
  2. Every time I hit the download button for an asset in the New Version category, My Library jumps to the All Assets view, then shows the asset being downloaded. Now, if I want to go back and find the next asset in New Version to download it, I have to go and click on the New Version category to go back to it, EACH TIME. Again, this is a huge pain. A lot of extra clicking back to the New Version category for each available updated asset that I need to download.
  3. There's no "Select all". So when I have all these updates awaiting download, I have to download each of them, one at a time. It would be so much better to check a checkbox to select all available new assets, and then download them all with a single click.
I've made a video showing the issues with the current UX here:
