Moodle File Archive Extension

To keep a copy of the files on a Moodle module you have to download each file, the filename often does not match the file title on the webpage, and the order of the files is not obvious. The Moodle File Archive extension parses the webpages and downloads the files in the correct order with correct file title. All the file downloads are initiated at once by clicking on the extension button.

Limitations:
This extension cannot get files from sub-pages on a course page. If the page has pop down sections for file links, you must open each section first and then use the extension.

This is a work in progress and may not work for all files on a moodle module.
