Filemanager uploaded files with drag an drop.

[Jaime]

When using the filemanager's upload button to upload the files, everything works correctly. The files uploaded show on the list and I can see when the file upload is complete.

But if I drag and drop the files into a folder, the files are also uploaded, but I don't see the list of files, if these are large files, I can not tell when the transfer is complete.

How can I make the  filemanager display the show the list of files uploaded when a drag and drop happens?

Hi Jaime,

I have tested the behavior using our Basic usage Demo. In the screencast linked here, you will see the behavior on my end when drag and dropping files. As you will see, the file is presented in the list while uploading. Am I missing something? Could you please provide the steps needed to be performed in order for the issue to be reproduced? This will help us to understand the issue better and provide appropriate assistance.

Hi thank you for your reply, but you are uploading to the upload window. I want to drag the files straight into the open folder in the file manager. Just like one would with windows explorer. The upload of the files work, but it does not show the list.

Hi Jaime,

You could subscribe to the upload or the progress events of the Upload widget used in the FileManager. 

 upload:{
              upload: function(e){
                   .....
              }
 },

In the Dojo example linked here, a Notification will be displayed when a file is dropped in the FileManager for uploading. You could handle the upload.progress event in case you need also to display the file upload progress. You could take a look at the Upload events demo where the progress of the file uploading is console logged. 

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, I used the upload to call:

filemanager.uploadDialog.open();

and did what I wanted. Thank you for your help.
