  • Updated to Uploadify 2.1.4.

What’s new in FileBrowser 3.3

  • Added class FileListing.
  • Added attributes mimetype, is_original, is_version and versions to FileObject.
  • Added widgets FileInput, ClearableFileInput.
  • Settings SEARCH_TRAVERSE.
  • Translations are handled with Transifex.
  • Added Tests.
  • Added edit-view.
  • Easier selection of Files (for either the FileBrowseField or the Rich-Text-Editor).
  • Added delete-confirmation.
  • Image transpose (flip, rotate).
  • Added setting FB_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS.

Design changes

  • The button for renaming/deleting a File/Folder is no longer part of the changelist.
  • Instead, there is now an edit-button.
  • The edit-view allows for renaming/deleting a File/Folder (similar to editing a database-object with the admin-interface).
  • Selecting a File/Folder is done with one button on the changelist with a drop-down for VERSIONS.
  • Versions are now shown with the change-link/edit-view.

Deprecated in 3.3

  • DEBUG-setting.
  • Removed attribute url_thumbnail from FileObject, because this should be done with versions.
  • Removed the extensions for code (js, css, ...) from the default settings since these files should not be stored within MEDIA_ROOT.
  • Removed rename-view (this is now part of the edit-view).
