Request: ability to download two (or more) projects at once

[rmunn]

Ron Lockwood sent us an email requesting the ability to download (or re-download) multiple FLEx projects at once. He wrote:

Another aspect of this, especially with regards to FLExTrans is that I want to re-download 2 FLEx projects at the same time. One is the source project and the other is the target. It would be wonderful to do some kind of batch download where I can select all the projects I want to download from the server. I'm frequently downloading 2 projects using the Get project from colleague option. When I switch to a new computer, the batch option would be very helpful to get all the projects I normally work with.

It's not yet clear whether #631 would be adequate for this use case, or whether he wants the ability to run two Send/Receives at the same time (which might need to be done in Chorus or FLExBridge).

I'm not actually sure we want to implement anything special for this as it seems like a pretty rare use case, even then it's not clear what benefit there would be.

in our team meeting we talked about maybe making a FLExBridge console app that Ron could then drive in his application, so he could manage pulling projects in his app and queuing, etc.

so it sounds like we're not going to take this on? (download multiple projects at once), but we've got some alternative solutions to the issue? Can we close this?
