Does it make sense the quantity field for a Purchasable Commerce File?
May be I am wrong, but probably would be better to hide/disactivate the quantity field parameter in buying a purchasable commerce file.
It happens in the chart, and might happen in the product display page, but seems useless to me in the case of a digital file, to grant download privileges to.
Even this field affect the result of total price, but what would be the practical advantage for anyone to buy more then 1 item, besides paying 2 or 3 the values of the same product?

I don't know if this is something that should be done at this module level or at DC core level ...

Thanks

I need to allow customers to pay for multiple copies of downloadable files. I sell sheet music -- a customer will buy xx copies so that they can download the PDF and reproduce xx copies for their ensemble.

if the file has limits, then buying more than 1 increases your limits.. ie a file with a 30 day download window, if you bought 2 then you would have a 60 day download window.

Add to cart form on the file product display - this should be handled by changing the add to cart formatter settings on the product displays field ui

Cart - its a view so you can remove the quantity field as long as the cart has a single product type which is your file product type... not sure how you would handle a cart with mixed product types, ie ones that should show the quantity and ones that shouldn't

closing this issue since this is implementation specific.
