[Solved] MVC Extensions: Image Browser delete file and directory not working

[Mr.Y]

Hi,

When an image is uploaded that contains a space or spaces in the name it is not possible to delete it. This is also the case for directories that are created.

I think this is because the space, in the path argument in the controller, is encoded as %20 when send to the controller.

Is there a workaround for this. Surely I won't be the fist to come across this behaviour.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Kind regards,
Yorrick vd Voort

Hello Yorrick vd Voort,

I reproduced the problem you wrote about and we will investigate what exactly is causing this behavior. A workaround for now is to set custom action methods which to either delete the files and folders or decode the path and call the EditorFileBrowserController methods. For example:

.FileBrowser(t => t
    .DeleteFile("DeleteEncodedFile", "ImageBrowser")
    .DeleteDirectory("DeleteEncodedDirectory", "ImageBrowser")
    .Browse("Browse", "ImageBrowser")
    .Thumbnail("Thumbnail", "ImageBrowser")
    .Upload("Upload", "ImageBrowser")
    .CreateDirectory("CreateDirectory", "ImageBrowser"))

public ActionResult DeleteEncodedFile(string path)
{
    var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);
    return DeleteFile(decodedPath);
}

public ActionResult DeleteEncodedDirectory(string path)
{
    var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);
    return DeleteDirectory(decodedPath);
}

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and the solution. This helped a lot.
BTW the issue with the space is also there when you try to open a folder with a space in the name.

I used your suggestion and created a new method and returned the Browse Jsonresult like below:

 

 

 

public  JsonResult BrowseEncoded(string path)
{
    var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);
    return Browse(decodedPath);
}
