Questions about Gleamtech - FileVistaControl

Hello,

I work for one of the biggest bank in France. We are curently developping a service for customers enabling them to store documents (pictures, digitized contracts and so on). Then I tried your tool Gleamtech - FileVistaControl on line, but I have some questions about it
 . Is it possible to "simulate" the server file tree? Indeed all our files are stored in the same repository, and the "virtual" path (the one displayed by the interface) of files will be caclulated (thru an XML file for example). Our storage solution does not use the Windows File system.
 . Is it possible to select source directoies (with or without their subfolders) for the upload feature?
 . Does the component work on Linux and Mac OS operating systems? 

Thanks in advance for your answer.


Have a nice week.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in our product.

1. As of current version, the control is dependant on windows file system, ie. it gets the file tree from the file system. However it gets this information as an XML file and then renders it. It's possible to change the web service method which sends this XML file so that it retrieves this information from your repository and produces the XML in same format. You will need the source code license to make these kind of changes.

2. Due to the limitations of both Flash and Browser upload modes, you can only select files and not directories in the file selection dialog. However your users can first zip the directories on their computer, then upload and finally extract the zip file easily in FileVista.

3. On linux, Firefox and on Mac, both Firefox and Safari are supported. Other browsers should probably be compatible but we have not tested.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. About case 1, would it be easy to catch (server side) events like files or folders cut-copy-paste, delete, rename, zip and so on?

Best regards.

Yes, the control actually exposes an event for each file action. Even without the source code, you can plug into these events. These events are "post" events, ie they are fired after the file action is completed.
