Overview

The file uploader enables you to upload files by dragging and dropping them onto the widget or using the file selection dialog. It supports multi-file uploading, allowing you to select and upload multiple files simultaneously. Additionally, it has an image-only mode that previews thumbnails of the uploaded images.

Releases

Version: 2.5.0
Framework Version: 10.22.0
Release Notes:

### [2.5.0] FileUploader

 

#### Fixed

 

- We fixed an issue where validation errors could not be dismissed and persisted after uploading a valid file.

 

- We fixed an issue where the dropzone turned grey without explanation when the file limit was reached. A message now appears on the dropzone stating "Maximum file count of X reached."

 

- We fixed an issue where dropping more files than allowed rejected the entire batch. Only the excess files are now rejected; the rest upload normally.

 

- We fixed an issue where files rejected due to the total file limit had no way to recover. They now show a retry button that becomes enabled when capacity is available.

 

#### Added

 

- We added a new "Maximum concurrent uploads" property to control how many files upload simultaneously. Files beyond this limit wait in a queue and upload automatically as slots free up.

 

- We added a new "File limit reached" text property to customize the message shown when the upload limit is reached.

 

- We added a new "Upload queued" text property to customize the message shown on files that are waiting to upload.

 

- We added a new "Retry button" text property to customize the tooltip on the retry button shown on rejected files.

 

#### Changed

 

- The "Maximum number of files" property is now optional. Leaving it empty or setting it to 0 means unlimited files are allowed. The default remains 10.

 

- Files now upload in a queue rather than being marked as errors when too many are dropped at once. Queued files show a "Waiting..." state while they wait for a concurrent slot.

 

- Files in the list are now ordered with successful uploads above rejected files.
