After swapping out the old logic used for Source Nexus as part of a wider update related to image limits back in July, it became obvious that the old logic had been broken in a couple of notable ways. For one, while it always calculated image limits based on the size of the original image, it didn't actually pass that value to the resource tracker, so it would use the default cost of 1. Secondly, the condition for when to it could be used was based on an old hardcoded value (10 MB) rather than what's used everywhere else on the site (3MB for PNG, 4MB for JPG).
Obviously, this means while Source Nexus is now working as intended, it's "worse" than the old broken Source Nexus, and people are complaining that it "doesn't do anything" anymore. I'm not going to change it back to being broken, but I am considering changing it so that instead of allowing you to browse with the original image (which really is a bit of an issue resource-wise), it'll give you the donator pricing for archive downloads.
So, the question is, would you rather keep Source Nexus like it is right now, or would you want it to give the donator pricing for archive downloads instead of today's functionality? No, you can't have both.
This question is only for non-donators who either have the perk, or who intend to get it if it's changed, or who intend to get it but won't if it's changed.
