Ignore hidden files in folder upload?

[daveh]

Hello,

We're using JFileUpload and we have the hiddenfiles parameter set to "deny". This does deny hidden files, but our problem is that if you upload a folder with a mix of hidden and non-hidden files it will deny the entire folder. What we would like it to do is still upload the valid files while denying the hidden files. Is this currently possible, and if not could an option be added to allow for this? Thanks.

Try to add:
<PARAM NAME="policy" VALUE="ignore">

Does it help?

Thank you for the timely reply. I tried your suggestion and it is definitely a step in the right direction. The valid files are now uploaded, and the number listed next to the folder in the upload pane goes from the full number of files down to the number of hidden files (13 to 1 in my case). The remaining problem is that if I click the Start Upload button again (which our users will definitely do) it re-uploads the 12 valid files again. This time, however, the folder is removed entirely from the upload pane (which it perhaps should have done the first time, listing the number of files ignored in the progress bar with the number of successes?).

We are currently using version 2.5 of JFileUpload Premium and I see the most recent version is 2.7, so perhaps this issue has been addressed in a newer version than ours. Could you please verify whether it has in fact been fixed, and if not how to proceed on getting it fixed? Thanks again.
