    I have to press 14 times to get to my last assets ( 1400 assets )
    I really need the load all button.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for you feedback I have forward it to the team.

    May I ask the user case for having all 1400 of your packages all in view? If it is to find a certain package, the search bar could be a good place to go and narrow the list down.

    We also implemented filtering and sorting (in 2020.1), would that help with you need to find a certain package?

    Best,
    Ethan

    It's because I don't remember all the assets and also because why not?
    It feels like someone is holding my hand, but instead of pulling me forward it's holding me back.

    Filtering and sorting will help, but I would still want that button.

    Thanks

    I just tested if the editor was still responsive when showing the list of all my assets and yes it still very responsive.

    I would not mind pressing load more 14 times if it happened only once ever, but since that is not the case the pressing load more is multiplied by each time I interact with the package manager.

    For example after a search I would expect my previous selection to return after clearing the search results but instead I have to reload the assets I already loaded previously, If they can be cached it would save me a lot of waiting time

    Another reason for showing all assets at once:

    When pressing load in unity from the asset store it breaks the sorting
