HI
I have the strange effect that as soon as i integrate this node into a flow the rest of my configured ui disapears.
I use W10 and no matter what browser, just this one element is on screen in ui.
Deactivate is not enough, I have to restart node-red afterwards to get the rest of my ui back.

THX in advance

I have the upload node connected with join, and the standard write file node, but the resulting file on disk has null characters between each byte. Any ideas what I might have wrong? I have tried using text and binary, also tried changing the write file encoding to ascii, utf8 and utf16. I do not seem to find an option that works nicely. See attached flow, and example files.

Example File after upload.csv

Hello,
I am using the ui-upload & chunks-to-lines in a node-red setup and the Process is as follows:
Upload -> chunks-to-lines -> process of filtering & writing data to files -> visualize on dashboard
Where the uploaded file ~400Mbytes. & my Node-red server is not the fastest.

Case 1:
If the upload chunk size is too big -> processing data takes long -> dashboard times out -> page refreshes & the upload stops!
Pros: upload is fast
Cons: processing gets choked & upload stops at a random points in time.
Case 2:
If upload chunk size is too small -> uploading takes too long -> high chance of network drops & browser timeout -> upload stops
Pros: processing is not choked
Cons: upload is too slow and often times out and the whole process stops.

Case Ideal:
Ideally, I would like..
Upload -> buffer data -> chunks to lines -> process -> visualize
So, Upload happens as fast as possible
And, Processing consumes data at its own pace thanks to the chunks to lines
Pros: Upload is fast & processing is done at server’s own pace
Cons: none!

Therefore in summary, I guess I would like the hunks-to-lines to pull data from the upload node as fast as possible but push the data in a line by line in the normal controlled manner (every time msg.tick = true).
Any tips how to achieve that?

Hi

Amazing package! Using it daily, however, in my application, I'm always sending files with the same name, just changing the content, which requires a webpage refresh every time, because for some reason it doesn't let you send a file with the same name as the previous one but with a different content. In my case its .txt files with a few duzen characters.

You this get solder would be amazing, meanwhile, i'm looking for a way to make node-red automatically refresh the dashboard after each send.

Thank you.

Cheers, Luís Pereira.

Hi, thanks for making this node public!

It is more of a question, rather that issue. How can I add file type/extension filter to the node configuration, so that only particular file type (e.g. *.CSV) could be selected in Open File dialog box?

Thanks

Is it possible to write the upload file to disk? I tried with the file node in append mode, but it truncate the end of the file :(

Hello, My page is 14 wide but the ui-ipload md-card takes all the width and not only the desired one.

Hi, cool node ! But when using the dark theme, the "play" button disappears after chosing a file.

I've tried adding this node to a subflow and every time I do, once I click the upload button it crashes the server. Here is an example of the subflow I am using (but it should be reproducible any time you use it in a subflow):

Here is the error that I get when it crashes:

I using Mac OS version 12.3.1, here are the versions of the nodes and node-red:

		"node-red": "^2.2.2",
		"node-red-contrib-ui-upload": "~0.5.1",
		"node-red-dashboard": "~3.1.7"

It works perfectly for me when used normally, but as soon as I use it in a subflow and try to upload something it crashes.

Hi, thanks for your great work!
I know that the chunk size is 1kb minimum but is there a way (by modifying ui.upload.js for example) to make the minimum chunk size in bytes instead of kilo bytes, like 128 or 256 bytes ?
Thanks! 😄

Hello,
I saw the issue #5 ticked as solved, but actually I have the exact same problem:
before:

after:

I'm also using NSSM to use node-red like a service, with projects enabled.
I tried it with a fresh new installation 3.1.0 of node-red, with node 18.18.2 (as the MSSQL contrib I use doesn't support any newer).

I didn't get what the other guy meant with "redoing the complete directory node-modules works like a charm", any idea?
