Re: two questions: Download-Button for entire Gallery etc.

I will add this feature to next X3 release, probably within a months time. There are some pitfalls and security concerns with this feature that need to be taken into consideration. It requires your server to be capable of adding a large (potentially massive) amount of images into a zip file in real-time on request, and we must prevent the script from being abused.

In the meantime, you can:
  1. Select (check) all items in a page from panel.
  2. Click "zip" to create a zip archive from the selected items.
  3. Add a download button on the page <a href="{{path}}archive.zip" download>Download</a>

I followed these steps, it downloaded, but wouldn't extract, what format does it Zip the files into? The Native windows extractor failed, but a great little tool I have 7-zip did it just fine, hmm, interesting.

What error did you get? It could be your Windows doesn't like the relative paths created by linux servers (starting with /), but I never heard this reported before. We use PHP ZipArchive, which is the standard method to compress files into a zip archive from server.

Thanks for reporting. It could be something with how the local paths are created inside the zip that may cause issues in some versions of Windows.

Sorry, not yet, because I was busy with Files app, which will become new panel 2.0. I will look into it shortly after an X3 maintenance release. In the meantime, you would have to use the workaround:

This issue should be resolved in latest X3.28.0 release. It seems that Windows OS did not like the zip-relative paths starting with /.
