VQMOD ONLY - No OCMOD support

This plugin provides a vqmod file that you can use to alter how the admin/downloads page
works. Adding your downloads (for example a zip file )to the download folder via FTP and then
refreshing the admin > catalog > downloads page will automatically insert all the file formats found
into your "STORE_download" and "STORE_download_description" databases. It will also automatically create
a mask identity for the download and keep it secure and rename the file in the downloads
folder to match the databases.
Any file which has already been processed won't be processed again.

It is essentially the same as doing it manually via the admin > catalog > downloads > add / edit
download button, but bypasses the upload through opencart admin which is very often prone
to failure. Which is why this plugin was written.

Installation instruction are included in the download.

This also works if you have moved your downloads folder outside of the main store for security purposes
too. Which if you haven't, is advised to do so.

Its quick and effective and is perfect for those that have a large downloads library and don't want
to manually upload each one through admin with potential failures and have to set all properties.

Features:

• Add downloads via FTP to your downloads directory, usually the one outside of your store when
  you first set opencart up.
  
• Simple refresh of the admin downloads page to instantly have access to all downloads uploaded
  
• Accepts all file types that are set up in the store settings. (File extensions NOT image extensions)
  
• The description of the file is the name of the zip with underscores replaced with spaces to
  keep it tidy, you can safely edit using the admin > downloads page button to change description
  afterwards and won't affect anything.
  
• Auto masking of the downloads
  
• Renaming of your downloads with the mask to keep things secure.

Only tested with Opencart v3.0.3.3, but if the "admin > controller > download.php" and "admin > model > download.php" core has not changed, then it should work fine.

This should work with all themes as it only modifies the admin php files.
