Description
Did a quick search to see if this had been reported; didn't see anything.
Basically I'd like there to be a way to download all attachments to an issue in a single click rather than each one separately.

In order to realize this feature, I thought of compressing and downloading Issue's attachment.
By applying this patch, you can download all of the attached files as a zip file. (using gem rubyzip)
Non-ascii file names are garbled in older versions (Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP).
Windows 7 is scheduled to end support in 2020.

Any feedback on this patch is welcome.

I think the patch should consider the free space of the disk. Suppose that the total size of attachments of the issue is 1GB. If the free space of the disk is less than 1GB, the creation of a zip archive will fail and the server may stop working due to disk full.
Here are some ideas to avoid the problem.
- Show an error message indicates no sufficient disk space if the total size of attachments exceeds the free disk space
- Create and send a zip archive without creating a temporary file

Thank you for posting the patch. Could you explain why
attachments_to_zipmethod creates temporary files inAttachment.storage_pathinstead oftmpdirectory?
There was no particular reason. I changed the temporary file storage location to the tmp directory.

Thank you for your feedback.
Because I could not think of a good way to check disk space, I thought about limiting the maximum capacity of temporary files.
The maximum capacity of temporary file can be set in configration.yml.
By doing this setting, it is impossible to create a temporary file larger than the assumption of the server administrator.
