    H Andrew. Thanks for sharing your plugin with the community. Please find the two issues I reported to your tracker. I'll be happy to approve this plugin once a new version with fixes is added here.

    Hello Andrew,

    Your version appears to only support version 2.9.4 and up. Are you certain this will not install on 2.9.3? Your description says 2.9, but your version.php file specifies 2015051104 (2.9.4).

    There seems to be a problem installing the new version. On 2 separate sites, it properly validates the plugin but never gets to the update the database screen, but rather takes you back to the list of plugins that need to be updated. I show the plugin and the circle repeats. Thanks marc

    Hello,
    Thank you for your very useful plugin.
    It also works on Moodle 3.4.
    Would it be possible for your plugin to make the difference between the files actually deposited in the course and the files linked by alias (link).
    Indeed to really know the size of the course, the one that determines the backups, it would be useful to give rather the actual size of the course.
    Thank you for your reply.

    Hi Andrew, I just wanted to say, that I have installed the plugin on Moodle 3.10.1 and as far as I can tell, it works perfectly. It is a little slow, but based on the number files uploaded on this particular moodle, I don't think it is much of an issue. I did have to change the date format in the view.php and I was wondering how I would change the time created heading to say Date Uploaded, instead of Time created. I looked through the code and thought I found the correct setting but it didn't change it. Is it possible to change the column heading on the view report?

    Hi Andrew, I figured out my above question, I just didn't realize that I had to purge cache after making the coding change.

    Looks like a nice block, but latest update is over 4 years ago. So I'm a bit wary to install this.
