    Description

      Basically, if you have an underscore (_) in the root folder name of the zip archive used to upload multiple feedback files, it won't work, and you just get 'No changes' on the next page.

      This will happen pretty easily if you have an _ in your assign name (because the default download zip will have a _ in it's root folder).

      Something like this:

      1. Create a course with a few students
      2. Add an assign that uses file submissions and Feedback files
      3. For at least two students, make a file submission
      4. As the teacher or admin, go and Download All submission from the top dropdown
      5. Open the zip and edit the students files (like marking them up or whatever)
      6. Rezip it
      7. Go to the 'Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'
      8. Upload the new zip and go to the next page
      9. It will show 'No changes'
