Kendo-angular: Upload : Confirm before remove

[ilianiv]

I'm submitting a...

• Bug report

Current behavior

Cannot prompt for confirmation before removing files

Expected behavior

Provide a mechanism to confirm before removing files using Observables.

What is the motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

It's a must to ask before performing destructive operations.

Hi @ilianiv,

Thank you for the idea. Currently we don't have plans to implement Observable confirmation mechanism for removal.

At the moment, this could be achieved by using a file template with a custom remove button, as demonstrated on the following documentation page. On button click, a confirmation popup could be displayed and the file removed via the component API. I hope this approach will be suitable for the current case.

Hi @Raisolution i hope you realize that this is not only bad UX design but dangerous one. Whenever there is a destructive operation one should ask for confirmation and that is valid since '92 (maybe earlier).

If you will not give the developers the possibility to implement the confirmation (because your component will not wait for async result, and the confirmation process is async) just remove the removal functionality altogether as it is useless at the moment.

I really am expecting more from a library that costs 900$ per license!

Cheers!

Hi @moxival,

Thank you for the feedback. As stated in the previous reply, we recommend to use a template, if displaying the confirmation is needed.

If you consider this feature a must, please log it as a suggestion in our User Voice Portal. This way we could update our development plans accordingly and include the most voted ideas.

Yes, @moxival is right. In 100% of cases with option to delete files devs will need to confirm before remove. In order to do this they'll need to recreate the upload component template (which is very good looking) only to add a custom button.

Hi @ilianiv,

Please log the suggestion in the User Voice Portal. We will consider to add it in our future development plans.
