IDEA: Please offer single JM Extensions

Dear JA Team, when I look over the available extensions for Magento, there are quite a lot that are available and those are offered on a single instance basis.

Whenever I like to buy one I purchase it without needing to pay more than I really need, as when I need an extension for an existing store, I wll not need a membership for a club or a template too.

Now, this is my idea, not really my idea as some other people already do it this way, like JoomSuite for their Joomla extensions:

1. The new JM extensions are still beta, so it might a big benefit for consumers and also for you to offer those, same as JoomSuite does:

"Buy it now when it is still beta for 19,95$"

2. As soon those are stable you may sell those for single prices like 69,95$ with the option for beta users to:

"Update your beta extension to stable now for only 40$ and save 10$".

With doing this, you first already bind a lot more consumers to get interested in those extensions and also offer a fair deal with selling those for a low price when still in beta and most important for the enhancement of those to stable, the people with sufficient knowledge will always report any bugs or errors to you so that the next stable release they can update to for with saving even 10$ on the full stable price sooner and with even more enhancements and bugs fixed to it.

And offering those extension later to a more competitive price as most extensions are sold right now, e.g. 69,95$ per extension is quite more appealing as 100$, the more you may sell in the end effect of it. 40$ more or less still make a big difference and the people needing those are often not pros but simple users without high income or high budget, just want to make their own stores look a bit more appealing.

Hope you can consider this option and thanks!

But I have one more question about any current and future Magento extensions.

For VM there is one, yet free, extension that is based on the regular random/featured modules BUT it does the following.

When being in Category A, the module only displays products from that category automatically. That means, the module is something like a "More products in this category" module.

This is PERFECT for being placed on a product page in shops with large inventory, so whenever visiting a product details page, this module shows random products from the category this product is in only, NO NEED TO deifne related products one by one or using a mass relater, this perfect module does it all, it only displays products from the currently visited category and does this also when being on the category pages.

I have looked over the tutorials for the JM Extensions and this function would be a great, the best and most needed option to the existing ones, as it saves huge amount of time and does a job no human being even can do!

It would be very nice if this "Show only products from the current category" option would be implemented into all of the JM Product Display extension by default without the need to define cat ids, product ids and so on.

Maybe you guys could do this before anyone else does!
