Show Upload Progress Bar for File Browse Item Type

sorin.apalaghie Internal · Feb 5 2022

Idea Summary
I would like APEX to display a progress bar when an upload is initiated through a File Browse item type. 

Use Case
There are often cases in which a user needs to upload files which exceed 20mb of data. Displaying a progress bar showing the progress in percentages would increase the user experience and would avoid cases in which the user refreshes the window just because the application feedback is not sufficient. 

If a progress bar cannot be implemented it would be good to be able to at least be able to programatically query the progress percentage so that we can then build our own progress bar. 

Preferred Solution (Optional)
There are a couple of plugins out there which already have this implemented, like Daniel's Dropzone plugin or the UC - Dropzone plugin

This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    This feature is really needed. Any plan to add it sooner?

    @deepali.d.gupta APEX Product Development is on a twice a year release cycle: Spring and Fall. We just released APEX 23.2, and 24.1 is due out this next spring. However, we have to prioritize all efforts and not every feature request (even very popular ones) will make it into the product on the short-term.

    I'd really like to “add” some kind of feature to “intercept”/handle upload errors if there's an ICAP server in place (ORDS).

    You should be able to show these errors inline/via popup message. Now, you just get redirected onto an error page. Regarding a potential risk uploading malicious stuff, this may seem to be convenient, but totally lacks of proper UI handling ;-)
