DragDropUpload is an AJAX/php web application that allows drag and drop file uploading through the javascript file API. As more browsers will support the File API we aim to make this project the number one open source uploading tool. You can find a demo here

Changes:

• Major cleanup
• ProgressBar works fine now
• Less memory used serverside (due to corrections noted by m0sc0, check the forum)
• Still I am missing some icons

Changes:

• Added trash
• Added allowed file types configuration (on the demo only images and text are allowed)
• Firefox also supports xhr.send(file) like chrome so this method is used for both browsers
• Fixed some inconsistencies and bugs
• Code was cleaned up (a little)

Chrome supports the File Api now. Not exactly like firefox, some tweaks were required.

Changes:

• New user interface
• Now with a normal upload box for other browsers
• Google Chrome support (safari maybe - untested)

Some thoughts:

I started implementing a google gears support so that chrome users, and IE with gears could use the drag and drop functionality. In the middle of the work I realized that unlike about a month ago, Chrome natively supports the FileReader object so being a new technology I shifted the interest there. Some of the gears code is already there on the server side, but I never realized the client-side script. If you think this is an important functionality, I will try to incorporate it in the script. (It requires more fine-grained browser control because we want FileReader to be used in priority then gears if available.

Known Issues:

• When dragging there are more icons than when loading the files from the server
• Images work alright, other files are untested, especially with the old-fashioned method
• Opera and Safari not tested

Things I want to do:

• Sort by
• File Details
• Draggability - Trash
