Yes. I’m running Vista/ie7. Works like a wonder.

This is by far the best tree widget I have ever seen, and as stated above the file upload behavior is great. It looks fantastic.

I’m a big Ext.js fan and this is great stuff… just asked Jack if he plans to integrate this into 2.0!

Saki’s extensions for Ext are really good. I hope Jack extends an offer to him & makes him a full time Ext employee. Good work!

I'd prefer to discuss technical things in the FileTree forum thread as maybe not all ajaxian.com readers are interested in technical details. Just brief answer: I use Ext form and Ext file upload infrastructure.

I wondered how you manage the upload. I’ve not experienced a reload of the page, tree stays expanded. I know that uploading is possible using iframes or Flash, but I’ve found nothing there.

Uploads are very interesting for me, because I’ve developed an application which can be used with complete AJAX support with Ext. The only thing I don’t have now is a remote upload system.

I have tried to minimize server round trips. All operations except file upload require one round trip even in the case of a failure. Failures are handled w/o server access by returning the tree to the state before the failed operation. To keep the client side tree in sync with underlying server filesystem the operations (rename, move, …) are sent to server immediately. The request can be some hundred bytes, success response is several bytes, failure response is cca error message size and expanding tree can be some kilobytes depending on number of nodes and length of their names. Of course, all plus overhead of request itself.

Just FYI: this component has no connection to Telerik. I haven’t even seen their tree. I’ll look now. Thanks for tip.

It looks like the tree component from Telerik.

anyway, anybody tried it b4? Is it heavy load?
