I want to use the built-in FileManagerToolBarSortTool but I want to remove the "Date Modified" option from the "Sort BY" menu.

For the time being, a possible option is to create a custom tool for sorting. You can use the SplitButton component to simulate the built-in UI. Upon selecting option from the dropdown, you may sort your data collection based on the selected custom sort option. Call the Rebind method to refresh the data after updating it.

When one or more items have been selected in FileManager's List/Grid View and you click "anywhere else", ie, column header, etc., the items stay selected. I feel like they should be unselected, if you click "anywhere" else outside the list/grid view.

Is there any way to achieve this behavior?

Set the EnableLoaderContainer to true. Add delay (no matter how much) during an action. The loader will not appear as expected - it will only pop for a second after the action.

Please expose the ability to select FileManager items in the Grid view with checkboxes. This will allow users to use similar UX to the GridCheckBoxColumn.

Is there any option to enable the use of escape backslash "\\" in the path?

When you right-click an item to open the Context Menu and select the "Delete" option, the confirmation dialog appears hidden behind the menu.

Can I change the content of the Delete popup?

Currently, only the "Download" option has an icon and this is not consistent:

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?

Please add the ability to search by "contains" filter operator in the FileManager. The current search is fixed to "starts with".

Please provide the ability to set a ProxyUrl for file downloads. This will avoid the need to serve downloaded files as data URLs through JSInterop and will support downloading of larger files.

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.

We would also like the ability to set the Splitter collapsed on initial load to hide the tree.

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;

By default, the items are automatically sorted by name. I want to programmatically change the default "Sort By" option, so the user does not need to change it from the dropdown.

Currently, the upload functionality of the FileManager allows uploading only one file. I'd like to be able to upload multiple files.

I would like to be able to add a DropDownList or other HTML in the Upload Dialog. 

I want to be able to set the desired custom icon depending on the file type.

I want to be able to control when the ContextMenu is displayed. For example, I want to prevent it from opening based on my custom logic.

Please expose an option to customize the appearance of the thumbnails. I'd like to change the icons of the files/folders in the content visualization pane.

Possible to add in the FileManager preview pane, a preview of the actual file, if the file type is simple; i.e. image or video (or pdf); or provide functionality to add preview.

 

Cheers
