Hello,

i am developing a RAP application and at one point, it should be possible to upload excel files to the server and they should be processed on the server. I really like the new FileDialog compared to the old one because it is easier for the user to upload multiple files.

However i can not find a possibilty to only allow extension .xls

Is this possible either the new or old FileDialog?

What are the reommedations?

Thanks in advance
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
the filtering API was removed from the new FileDialog implementation due
to missing native support (filtering by extension) in most of the
browsers. The old filtering implementation was confused for most of the
users. Changing text field background color to yellow after the file is
uploaded was not so convenient. If more browsers support native
filtering by extension in the future we will bring the FileDialog API back.
Best,
Ivan
