Progress Bar

[steinm]

Hello,

I would like to see an upload progress bar implemented with also the ability to continue with the upload if it has been stopped for whatever reason.

Any chance of this being implemented? This would be helpful for large files and for users that have slow, unreliable Internet connections.

Have you checked the jumploader introduced in letodms 3.2.0? It does what you want, but is a java applet. I do not know how it behaves over unreliable internet connections.

hey UWE

i think LetoDMS uploader should be in JavaScript or Ajax not Applet i think Applet way would be very old fashion is there way we can add that function to LetoDMS please? if you want ? or get a chance to play around with it ?

The problem with any upload mechanism relying on the browser is the size limit of documents. It is at 2G or 4G depending on the browser. If you want to upload larger files, you have to use an applet which chops the document in parts.

Although that reasoning does make sense. It is a sledgehammer solution for the majority that won't be uploading anything near that size. Plus the fact all users will need to have java installed on their machines which now puts reliance on the users pc and adds another layer that is out of our control for troubleshooting issues.

My wording was misleading. I didn't mean to do it only the java way. An ajax uploader is fine but there are cases where you need the applet. The 2GB limit is far away but the maxuploadsize often is much lower.
