Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

PS: Maybe add a link to a list of respective @Massdrop teams if user clicks on said title under employee names? IE: 'Outreach' , 'Collaborations' , 'Creative' , etc idk just a random thought
Who thought it was a good idea to add pages WITHOUT an option to view/search all?
Is the assumption at Massdrop that the majority of members will only purchase a couple items?
I have made roughly 220+ purchases since finding Massdrop years ago. Do you think I want to click through 22 pages to find the one item I might be looking for? The old design was functionally adequate. A simple Cmd+F Find... in browser & any item was viewable within seconds. I can understand adding pages might be less intimidating for some, especially those w/ less powerful internet connections. However, it should be easy enough to add a button at the top that provides the option to view all for those that prefer. At the very least, providing a search element might do.
The previous design was functionally better.
Would you want to click through 22 pages to download hundreds of receipts individually?
This is NOT user friendly.
I can't imagine it is a hard thing to write the code to pull all of a user's receipts into a zip file & present it for download via a button on the Transactions Landing Page. A user shouldn't have to be expected to spend this much time to accomplish a task that could be completed in seconds otherwise.
And on that note... Why are we expected to create a support ticket to request download of all our personal information?
If end result of doing so is a download link presented on the Privacy Page in Settings...
Why is that download link not already presented to every user by default.
With that being said, I love being a part of this community; but UX pitfalls such as these make me so frustrated.
