Re-write/replace uploader #24

Open douginator2000 opened 11 years ago

douginator2000 commented 11 years ago

The current Java applet-based uploader has some limitations (file size limits may be one). It's also kind of clunky. Rewrite with html5/jquery/css tool. A good place to start might be:

http://blueimp.github.com/jQuery-File-Upload/

Though note than in my investigation, it would seem that 1/2 of it would need to be written from scratch. The GUI is functional, but a new plugin would have to be written for pure python hosting on the receiving end.

jumploader shouldn't be limited by upload size, if there are issues there, then it is likely due to connectivity on the part of the user. max upload size is also a parameter AFAIK. jumploader does suck, but the advantage is minimal investment to get it up

This just got a bump in priority as Sun's new Java plugin does not support Chrome on MacOS anymore. I have to use Firefox or Safari now to use the website - no bueno Sun. I loathe the. hehe!

Argh, really? Okay, we should explore other options. We may be able to resurrect the old python uploader that Micah wrote but it is limited to 2gb if I remember

I spent a day looking into options a week or so ago. HTML5 provides some good options (the utility Meg/Antonio sent out is all based on HTML5). I dug far enough into it to see that building your own isn't so bad at all so I think that might be the best route. Possibly using that utility as a base or just going from scratch.

Yes, I can confirm that it doesn't work. :panda_face:

So building one will be the ideal solution?
