Provide the ability to drag/drop files into the Treeview/GridView of RadFileExplorer and automatically upload them. Currently this option is offered only over the RadAsyncUpload area inside the Upload dialog of RadFileExplorer. 

Cross folder searching/filtering please.

At present, when an invalid file is selected, the alert message does not clearly indicate what is the validation error - invalid extension or the size being too large. It should show a message that clearly states what the problem is so the user can fix it.


For the time being you can handle the AsyncUpload's OnClientValidationFailed event and show different messages—http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/asyncupload/client-side-programming/onclientvalidationfailed.

Example:

ASP.NET
-------------------------------
<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="RadFileExplorer1">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/" UploadPaths="~/" DeletePaths="~/" SearchPatterns="*.jpg" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

<script>
    // Prevent the built-in validation alert
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadFileExplorer.prototype._showUploadValidationFailedAlert = function () {

    }

    function OnClientValidationFailed(sender, args) {
        var fileExtention = args.get_fileName().substring(args.get_fileName().lastIndexOf('.') + 1, args.get_fileName().length);
        if (args.get_fileName().lastIndexOf('.') != -1) {//this checks if the extension is correct
            if (sender.get_allowedFileExtensions().indexOf(fileExtention) == -1) {
                alert("Wrong Extension!");
            }
            else {
                alert("Wrong file size!");
            }
        }
        else {
            alert("not correct extension!");
        }
    }
</script>
-------------------------------

C#
-------------------------------
RadFileExplorer1.AsyncUpload.OnClientValidationFailed = "OnClientValidationFailed";
-------------------------------

VB
-------------------------------
RadFileExplorer1.AsyncUpload.OnClientValidationFailed = "OnClientValidationFailed"
-------------------------------

RadFileExplorer only natively works with standard Windows files that are on the server.  This precludes us from effectively using Azure's data structures, especially blob and the newer file types. With things like Webjobs where there is no standard file structure, we need the ability to access files that are stored in a shared space.

Upload dialog layout is broken in iPad

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx ;
2. Open the upload dialog.

FileExplorer built-in features I would like to see:
1. Support for UNC paths so that the root folder may be located in a network share as opposed to a folder under the application folder.
2. Support for sub-pathing so that it can be dynamically programmed to support direct display of target folder without having to navigate to the target folder
3. Built-in Delete function to complement the built-in Upload function
4. Optional display of checkbox column to allow for multiple selection for items to be Deleted or Downloaded
5. Built-in Progress Bar for Upload and Download functions

Uploading a file when ExplorerMode is set to FileTree causes a JavaScript error in FileExplorer.

The same error is thrown in case the there is a value, set to the FileExplorer's InitialPath property.

If the AsyncUpload control is enabled in the FileExplorer when  and the user uploads more that 1 file, the FileExplorer throws a JavaScript error with the following message:

TypeError: this.control.get_allowMultiRowSelection is not a function

When users quickly select different folders in the TreeView and content is still loading, the caching mechanism of FileExplorer fails and loads incorrect data to the last selected folder. 

A workaround is to disable the embedded jQuery and use an older version (for example, 1.11.1 which is the previous version the suite used): https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/scriptmanager/disabling-the-embedded-jquery

Repro steps:

1. put a file explorer on the page
2. right click a file in it and select Rename
3. enter a new name, click OK

Expected: file is renamed

Actual: Firefox throws TypeError: access to strict mode caller function is censored

Sample markup

        <telerik:RadFileExplorer RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="FileExplorer1" Width="520px" Height="310px">
            <Configuration ViewPaths="~/images" UploadPaths="~/images"
                DeletePaths="~/images"></Configuration>
        </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

When two FileExplorers, used in ThumbnailsView mode, are added to a page from a user control, the navigation through the trees of both FileExplorers updates the ListView of the first explorer.

Clicking on the FileExplorer's Refresh button does not refresh the pager of the control properly when the currently selected page in the grid/listview is bigger than 1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/examples/server-sideapi/initialpathandpaging/defaultcs.aspx
2. Navigate to some page (e.g. 3) in the FileExplorer's grid/listview
3. Refresh the control (click the "Refresh" button on the toolbar)

Result: FileExplorer shows the content if the first page, while the pager keeps the state from before the refresh (e.g. 3).

The issue is reproducible with RadEditor. When using Lightweight rendering in RadEditor, the FileExplorer's address bar has an inline style with height: 16px rule. This rule should be added only in Classic rendering.

As a side effect, the text in the address box is cut off. 

Possible workaround is to add setting in the web.config to force Lightweight rendering for RadFileExplorer:

<add key="Telerik.Web.UI.FileExplorer.RenderMode" value="lightweight" />

A workaround is to disable the embedded jQuery and use an older version (for example, 1.11.1 which is the previous version the suite used): https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/scriptmanager/disabling-the-embedded-jquery

TreeView context menu remains visible when a permission alert is shown. I should be hidden like the Grid contect menu is.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy a file from the Grid in RadFileExplorer

2. Right click over the same directory in the TreeView and select Paste

Result:

have found similar issue :  http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/details/Issue=5296
which look like has been fixed, but unfortunately for following case it doesn't:
We still have performance issue, in following situations:
   - when content root folder contains few (1-5) subfolders
   - one of subfolder contains lot of (200-500) sub-subfolders 

then first time RadFileExplorer  loading to long (aproximatelly 3-5min). after some researching has been found that problem in the method:  

     private bool HasSubFolders(string virtualPath);

which instead of simply check that folder isn't empty (exist any one file or directory)  always construct complete version of the subtree (in the example above - subtree contains 200-500 subfolders, each of them checking for content, permission etc - that is why it takes time). Probable to check that node  HasSubFolders, RadFileExplorer  could execute new virtual method of the FileSystemContentProvider bool HasSubFolders. In that case: FileSystemContentProvider (or inherited classes) will decide that Folder contains SubFolders.

No matter what the current page index is, get_currentPageIndex() will return zero if FileExplorer is used in Thumbnails mode.
