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:
What do you think?
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.
If there are many subfolders below a folder the list becomes too long for the TreeView window and gets cut off at the bottom. Apparently, there are some height and overflow settings missing. After some digging around in the rendered HTML and copying some CSS selectors (using F12 on Edge) I got it working with this in my CSS file:
.k-filemanager-content-container > div > div.k-pane.k-filemanager-navigation.k-pane-static > div > div > ul {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
.k-filemanager-content-container > div > div.k-pane.k-filemanager-navigation.k-pane-static > div > div {
height: 100%;
}
----------ADMIN EDIT----------
In the meantime, here is a possible workaround:
<style>
.k-treeview-lines {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
.k-filemanager-treeview {
height: 100%;
}
</style>
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";
}
Currently, only the "Download" option has an icon and this is not consistent:
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:
Of course, the goal here would be to render the user interface accordingly. E.g., if deletion is disabled:
When using the FileManager and navigating through directories, the Breadcrumb does not show the path.
Reproduction: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/GdOCYQki12iTAeWd34
When the user renames a folder, the TreeView foes not refresh to display the new folder name.
The test page below is based on the FileManager Events example.
A possible workaround is to recreate the FileManager in the OnUpdate handler:
@using System.IO
@if (ShouldRenderFileManager)

OnDelete="@OnDeleteHandler"

OnDownload="@OnDownloadHandler"
SelectedItems="@SelectedItems"
