Could you add an option to download all files into the same folder instead of creating a separate subfolder for each chapter?

Right now everything is done in this format:

Chapter 1
1. Lesson title
2. Lesson title
Chapter 2
1. Lesson title
2. Lesson title
etc.

It would be nice to be able to download the above in the following format:

001_Lesson title
002_Lesson title
003_Lesson title
004_Lesson title
etc.

I might consider it for future updates. But I really think there are much more important features to be added than this one. So I will get to it, once I am done adding the more requested features.

The advantage of having all files in the same folder is that once the first file starts playing, the media player can be set to play the next one automatically. With files in different folders you have to manually browse to the next folder and then click on the file you want to play next.

Alternatively, you could just leave the folder structure as it is and add a unique number in ascending order in front of each lesson as they are downloaded. That way, once the download is finished, they can all be moved in one folder manually.and the order will be preserved.

I thought most media players will play the next file automatically, if you just give it the entire course folder. But I understand not all media players would support that

How about we instead generate a playlist file? That can just be opened and it plays all videos in order?

I think having all files numbered incrementally like this: 001_filename, 002_filename, etc.. would be better than generating a playlist.

Have the same issue. Well, is not an issue, but "issue-ish".

Y take my downloaded files to an Android tablet, and because of the file system and the filename ordering the player plays the video intitled "1. First chapter. First video" and then "1. Second chapter. First Video" instead of playing "2.First chapter. Second video.".

It would be awesome if the generated file is something like "01-01 First chapter. First video", "01-02 First chapter. Second video." and "02-01 Second chapter. First Video"
