New feature - Download all archives

[magdesm]

Hello,

In the archives list section, there is a feature to select all courses in the list. Can we select all items and download courses in bulk? We want to use this plugin to clean courses and upload a backup to the cloud. We have multiple Moodle, administrators don't have access to the Moodledata so we need an alternative to get all courses.

Here is a capture of one of our list :

Thank you for your work!

@magdesm Are you wanting the system to initiate a bunch of individual downloads or a single massive download? The single download would probably cause issues because all of the course backups would have to be zipped into a single file and anytime we do that with large files it can cause major issues. The individual downloads probably wouldn't be very difficult to make.

@Syxton Exactly, a bunch of individual downloads would be great because it is a long process to download courses one at a time when there are 20 courses or more. As you mentioned, a single massive download could cause a timeout issue.

@magdesm If you would like to look at pull request #69. Let me know if this method works for you. Some browsers really fight against something like this happening, so it took some figuring.

Thank you so much! We encountered some problems with the draft files clean up and some backups moved to home page restore space. I am not sure if this is due to the new version or not. I will get back to you.

Everything works as intended. Will this feature be added to the main branch in a subsequent version such as 4.5 and 5.0?

@magdesm It is already a part of the latest release. Good for 5.0+
