Bug report

If a FileManager is configured using MVVM an error in the console appears.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo example
2. Run the example and open the browser console.

Current behavior

Currently an error appears: "Uncaught TypeError: i.items is not a function"

Expected/desired behavior

There should be no errors when FileManager is configured with MVVM.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2010.2.617
• Browser: [all ]

Follow steps in sample at https://dojo.telerik.com/@GaloisGirl/OJUPoYOY/8

• Actual result: the call to "create" has no information that the new folder should be created in "folder 1"
• Expected result: the call to "create" should contain information about the path, for my back-end to create an entry in the correct place

Probably related to https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/1473893-filemanager-no-path-passed-to-datasource-read-method / https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/issues/5890

As of version  "@types/kendo-ui": "2020.3.0":

FileManager methods: path, view, getSelected, getSize have return type void, which is a pain to handle since it can't even be cast to bool.

FileManager method navigate doesn't accept params, should accept string 'path'.

FileManager method executeCommand doesn't accept params, should accept as per https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/filemanager/methods/executecommand .

FileManagerContextMenu interface is missing all event handlers: close, open, activate, deactivate, select.

The following are not exposed:
- kendo.data.schemas
- kendo.ui.filemanager.commands

 

 

So my filemanager on page load, loads the root directory.  I I wish to call the method navigate(folderpath) for a subfolder (https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/filemanager/events/navigate) but it does not work because I haven't loaded that subfolder yet using the normal navigation methods provided directly by the filemanager.  The navigate call does not call read on the datasource the same as clicking on a folder does in filemanager.  Hence I get the error cannot get loaded property of undefined or null ref.

Is it possible to add folder icons to the folder list on left of FileManager control? If not, I would like to suggest this as an added feature.

Bug report

When the views.grid option of the FileManager is used and the filterable option is enabled, the filter menu is empty. Also the 'Date Created' column is empy.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo example
2. Go to the 'Grid View'

Current behavior

Currenlty, the filter menu of the Grid in the 'Grid View' is empty. The 'Date Created' column does not show the dates.

Expected/desired behavior

The filter menu in the 'Grid View' and the 'Date Created' column of the FileManager should be not be empty.

Workaround

As a temporary workaround, the fields of the model could be defined with lowercase. Here is a Dojo example where the workaround is applied.

Bug report

In mobile devices, when a nested folder is renamed in the FileManager, the parent folder is displayed in the dialog for renaming.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open our Demos and choose a mobile device in the emulator
2. Create a nested folder and try to rename it.

Current behavior

The parent folder name is displayed in the dialog for renaming. The parent folder is renamed after saving (screencast)

Expected/desired behavior

It should be possible to rename nested folders on mobile devices.

Bug report

Calling the loaded method on a FileEntry instance does not reset the loaded flag.

function onNavigate(e) {
            var filemanager = e.sender;
            var path = e.path;
            var entry = filemanager.dataSource.get(path);
            if (entry.loaded()) {
                entry.loaded(false);
            }
        }

Reproduction of the problem

1. Run this dojo
2. On the TreeView section of the Filemanager navigate to both folders, so the contents of the folders are loaded
3. Navigate between the Folders using the TreeView and note the loaded flag is not reset

Current behavior

Calling entry.loaded(false); does not reset the loaded flag of a FileEntry instance.

Expected/desired behavior

Calling entry.loaded(false); should reset the loaded flag of a FileEntry instance.

Bug report

In FileManager read request is triggered twice when navigating to a parent folder that has a nested folder. The issue does not occur if the folder contains only files without a nested folder.

Reproduction of the problem

1. The issue can be replicated if a nested folder is created in the demo service. The screencast here demonstrates the issue.

Current behavior

Two identical requests are sent when the parent folder is selected.

Expected/desired behavior

There should be a single request when navigating to a parent folder, even if it has a nested child folder.

I am running into inconsistencies when using the toolbar Search input of a File Manager object after navigating to new folders.  

Simple dojo for reference - https://dojo.telerik.com/aPOtiXex/2

Steps to reproduce

1. Click on "Folder1" in the treeview.
2. In the Toolbar Search, enter the text "Sub 1001".  This will correctly filter the displayed items.
3. Click on "Sub 1001" in the treeview.  Notice that the search filter is still in place, but that it is not applied to the current folder view.
4. In the Toolbar Search, remove the text 1 character at a time.  Notice that as you remove characters in the Search input, the filter IS applied to the current folder view.  Continue removing characters until the Search input is empty.
5. Click on "Folder1" in the treeview.  Notice that the contents of the folder are STILL filtered as if the Search filter was "Sub 1001", even though Search input is currently empty.
6. In the Toolbar Search, add 1 space character, then remove it.  Notice that this finally clears the filter applied to the folcer in step #2.

I am not sure what the best answer for this scenario would be.  Maybe navigating to a new folder should clear the search filter criteria in the toolbar and clear any applied filter criteria to the previous folder?  Or maybe the toolbar search input should be reset to accurately reflect the current applied filter for the folder on navigate?  Something good for your dev team to discuss, but it is clear that the current implementation will create some confusion for users.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo.
2. Select the 'Documents' folder
3. Click on the 'Reset data' button.

We allow the user to rename files and folders, but if they rename to the same name as another file/folder, what we would like to do is prompt the user with a confirmation dialog, explaining that if they click "Ok", the existing file will be overwritten with the newly-renamed file.  For folders, it would merge the contents, but again, duplicates would be overwritten.  If they click "Cancel", then the dialog should close, and nothing else should happen.  

Right now, the closest thing I could find was the "requestStart" event handler.  This fires after the user renames, and before the request is sent to the server.  The problem is, even in the documentation, it says, "This event can be prevented only for read requests."  

We would like to be able to prevent "update" requests as well, for this scenario.  Can this be added as a feature?
