Adopt Content: Allow Folders as Source

1 Initial Problem

The process to adopt contend for courses or groups (Course / Manage / Adopt Content) does not allow the user to select a folder as source. Only course objects and group objects are allowed. This limits how content can be structured elsewhere in the repository, i.e. if you have a course or group container that functions as a "content-pool" for tutors, tutors have to seperate content (i.e. tests, files etc). that belongs to different courses/modules with more sub-groups.

2 Conceptual Summary

2.1 RFC 2119

2.2 Requirements

Users must be able to select a folder from within a course / group as source container for the copying process when adopting content. The selected folder object itself will not be copied, the same way a group object selected as source when adopting content is omited.
