Since hotpotatoes doesn't have metadata to state which file is the runnable file, we always scan for index.htm(l) files. This means that we can not support multiple hotpotatoes in one zip package since the system would not know what to do with this.

this issue has to be resolved because I need to create a zip-file even when I upload a single hot potatoes file, in which I use pictures and audio- and video files: these multimedia files are not included in the hot potatoes file itself, and need to be uploaded together with the hot potatoes file in a zip file.
All our teachers work a lot with hot potatoes, and they will prefer to stick with the old platform if this issue isn't resolved.

I implemented the hotpotatoes importer.

To create multiple hot potatoe excercices you need to wrap EACH ex. in a zip file, and wrap all these zip files in another global zip file to import.
Then select Hotpotatoes as import type and upload the global zip file. That way all hotpotatoes-zipfiles inside the zip file will be converted to excercises in the repository.

I tested it on the Waldorf-dev installation, and there it works fine. For me this is a solution for now, but I'm sure we will get a lot of complaints from our teachers, because it isn't userfriendly enough for a teacher who has hundreds of hot potatoe exercises.
