Not sure if this is the latest update bug BUT .. it is not dowloading any files that are in subfolders or in pages in Moodle. I tried selecting and deselecting the (experimental) organize into subfolders box and that doesn't change anything other than having the limited files not organized. Too bad .. ... this essentially renders it useless
