Downloading files from multiple datasets
There should be a way to download multiple datasets from the frontend. Right now, a download action is only available in the details view of one dataset. However, the user should not have to download each of these datasets individually.
From what I understand with how it works, the zip-service does not need to be changed (much) to support this.
This could be incorporated when working on the improvement of the cart/selection.
To make these actions configurable, should this be done a) similar to the datafilesActions or should I b) see if I can implement it with the jobs api?
Downloading selected datasets would probably only involve a urlaction to the zip-service endpoint, but as far as I see, the urlaction in the backend does not currently return the response in some way.
My current thinking is that it would make sense to configure single actions that do not need a job created for these buttons. (The archive button on the other hand should spawn a job?)
Florian is working on that ( can be solved by an configured action and an appropriate backend zip service)
