Hi all, this may be unique to organizations like Sepasoft because we install 7 modules at once and do it multiple times per day. It would be a great feature to be able to select multiple modl files at once. That way only one trip through the install process is needed. Thanks for considering this. ---

Hi, Not only you! We, as distributor, we do all day long demos and install/reinstall. Batch loading would be great. 😊 ---

Hmm, I like this idea, but it would require some UI work to handle multiple modules, display multiple certificates, etc... and UI/frontend is definitely the log jammed right now. ---

Replicate the module certificate and license approval resources on the filesystem, and drop the module files into `user-lib`. Then restart. 🤷‍♂️ (I haven't hunted them down in v8.3, yet....) ---

I think you'd have to update `data/modules.json` as well. The modules that actually get run is no longer as simple as every module that happens to be lying around. ---

hi Kevin, I'm on 7.3.0-SNAPSHOT (b2025062016) would their been room for these improvements in that area ? - drag and drop a module in the "choose a file" window popup - multi select modules additionally, if you guys could either quickly move the pop up "Modules Installed" out of the way of ..clicking "Install/Upgrade Modules" , that would be just great thank you ---

I really hope you mean 8.3.0... 😅 Anyway, we have a ticket about this already and I'll add your post to it to increase the priority.
