Current behavior
Selecting a file on the file-upload module doesn't return any file.

You do have the file information. However you have to directly access the file, analogue in the uploader handler or event.files[0] in this case.

Ok. sounds weird though since files appears as empt FileList on event.

@blackholegalaxy I encountered the same issue.
I'd like to do something after user select one file. However, onSelect callback returns nothing for me.

How do you deal with it? Do you have any other alternatives?

The fact is the files are not displayed on console but can be used in the code. event.files is an actual file array... Weird console problem. So i used event.files as expected.

The reason you're seeing zero-length FileList is because they are clearing input element after doing work. The clearInputElement method is called (and one more IE-specific) right at the end of selecting the file - that's why you see nothing in console (because it's evaluated at the time you're looking at the console). If you catch onSelect event and do some work on files there, all will be OK. But it's still strange thing that input field is cleared.
