Hello
I'm having some bad hours fiddling around with Kendo UI Upload to make what I want. Initially I wanted to restrict specific file types by "validation" parameter AND set the parameter "maxFileSize" depending on file type. This all with the autoupload feature (selecting one or more files). Something like:
.jpg, .png, .gif -> max 1 MB
.mp3 > max 5 MB
.mp4 -> max 10 MB
The world would have been perfect that way. As I was told: Both configuration parameter at the same time are not supported.
Just setting one parameter seems to work great and the Upload Widget does only upload the ones passing the set options.
Ok, one step back and doing own checks based on e.files while trying to use e.preventDefault(); in select event. Oh great, it prevents ALL files to be uploaded even the valid ones! Why can the Upload Widget itself differ between valid and invalid ones (in order to upload only the valid ones) while I - as programmer - have no chance to define which files are ready to upload and which are not?
Ok, one step back: I tried to remove invalid files from e.files in select event. Guess what: it doesn't matter what I do in here! The upload event has its own list and ignores any operation I have done inside e.files in select event.
Ok, one step back: where to?
All Kendo UI Widgets have their pros and cons. I'm using many and in some cases I had to and could find a workaround for what I wanted. But the Upload Widget is by far the worst, inconsistent and inflexible Widget in the list!
