Thanks and your welcome!

Thanks Tim - lots of good stuff in there!
I was wondering about the "collection within collection" problem where the message says "your collection is complete" when the package involves several collections, leading to confusion. You were looking into it April/May and I think you said it would be next update?
I currently have frozen my most expensive collections because of this, or am doing manual workarounds and am keen to have people buying them again - thanks :)
For the taxable gallery extensions, can we set the default behaviour in the category settings for new galleries, or do they have to be set manually each time one is created?
I appreciated the batch update for the exisiting galleries.
It will use the settings of the of the most recent gallery in that section.
So if they last gallery created has gallery extension taxable, the new gallery you create in that section will automatically be set to taxable.

Thankyou for fixing the collection within a collection!!
Looking forward to selling the bigger packs again without micromanaging them :)
Hi Tim! We're having a little trouble with the order sorting on the new update :-(
We're finding it harder to view Open orders not assigned? The old system allowed us to basically filter to only see those not assigned orders, but the new system doesn't seem to filter them? It shows how many there are, but not just the ones we need.
Unless we're doing something wrong!
Just something I missed. Fixed for the next update and fixed in your Sytist now.

Fantastic!
For those who don't want to upgrade, are we going to receive a patch for the Paypal integration or just simply SOL?
I'm on 4.7.3 and haven't really seen anything newly released that makes me see the need to upgrade as it nothing really pertains to what I do, etc. But now as of July 31 my PayPal integration will stop working and I'll be forced to upgrade simply for that...I mean, at no fault of your own of course, but hopefully you can issue a patch to all your existing customers so no one is being forced into upgrading either.
There is no patch for that.
Upgrading isn't just for new features but also renewing support.

Hi Tim, we're having the same issue. I can filter any other status using this, except 'open orders not assigned, it just shows all open orders if I filter from Open
If I select 'open not assigned' from any other status, it resets the selection back to the previous status.
Running 5.0.2 - updated in last 7 days.
Thanks
It is resolved for the next version. To fix it now:
- download this zip file.
- Unzip the file
- Upload the included order.menu.galleries.php file it into the sy-admin/store/orders folder on your website overwriting the existing one either with your FTP program or the file manager in your hosting control panel.

I have not upgraded yet, and just wanted to note PayPal integration is still working oddly. So just for anyone curious.
