Greetings.
I was using the FileManager recently and wanted to make sure the user could only select a single file. I was expecting a parameter to configure that but I didn't find any. I was able to bypass the issue by acting on the value reported by the component but I found it a bit inconvenient.
I think it might be interesting if we could:
- choose if we select one or several elements (single vs multiple selection, like with grids)
- choose what element we can select (files & folders, files only, folders only)
What do you think?
Greetings.
I was using the FileManager component for a project and wanted to disable some operations since in my use case, it must not be possible to do them. But I was surprized to notice that this apparently cannot be done. So I suggest to add boolean parameters that will allow to disable the following features:
- new folder
- renaming
- searching
- details pan
- download
- upload
- delete
Of course, the goal here would be to render the user interface accordingly. E.g., if deletion is disabled:
- remove the Delete entry in the right click menu
- and never call the OnDelete event.
When using the FileManager and navigating through directories, the Breadcrumb does not show the path.

When the FileManager is placed in a Window/Dialog, the ContextMenu does not open.

Essentially, the ContextMenu is rendered but appears behind the Window/Dialog and thus it is not visible. The issue is z-index related and a possible workaround is to increase the z-index of the ContextMenu to ensure it will be visible.
Hello,
Nice work on the FileManager component, this will be incredibly useful. I would like to use this control in an Open File Dialog and the only thing I'm missing to support that is what is the selected item in the listview. If I could bind that selection then I could enable/disable my Ok button and provide the selected item(s) when the user hit's ok. Is there a way to access this information?
Thanks,
-Andy
Would like to be able to change / recall State of expanded / collapsed items in FileManager, similar to how we can with the Grid component using Groups.
On refreshing data from the database, the entire File Manager reverts to all items collapsed, which will be annoying for end users.
State management could also deal with the default view (Details vs Icons) as requested elsewhere for this component.
For true load on demand, the OnRead event should be triggered for:
- PathChanged;
- TreeView expand;
- as many more data-related actions as possible;
Sorry to bother you, but we found a problem when using the FileManager control. When you are in a directory hierarchy Home > Dir1 > DirA > DirX > DirY and you want to navigate to the parent directory say DirX using the breadcrumb, clicking on DirX, FileManager sends you to the root directory. I hope you can help me.
If there are a lot of child folders, the Breadcrumb navigation does not work correctly. The current directory does not respond to the selected one.
The FileManager is not showing icons for video files, e.g. mp4. The icon's CSS class is k-i-video, but it may need to be k-i-file-video.
The workaround is to apply the k-i-file-video icon to k-i-video:
CSS
.k-i-video::before {
content: "\e93b";
}
