How can I suppress the FileManager Rename Confirmation dialog?

[Stephen Haines]

Hi Syncfusion,

I am using the Blazor File Manager with data supplied from a SQL database.  Therefore, the media names supplied are not filenames and therefore do not have to have file extensions.

When I perform an item "rename" the File Manager component automatically shows the "Rename Confirmation" dialog box:

This makes no sense under the circumstances.

Please could you tell me how to suppress this dialog.

Many thanks and best regards,

Steve

Hi Stephen Haines,

To suppress the Rename Confirmation dialog in the Blazor File Manager when renaming items from an SQL database without file extensions, you can use the ShowFileExtension property and handle the dialog behavior.

Set the ShowFileExtension property to false to hide file extensions in the File Manager. This setting hides the extension for files and prevents users from changing extensions when renaming files.

<SfFileManager @ref="filemanager" id="filemanager" TValue="FileManagerDirectoryContent" ShowFileExtension="false">

    <FileManagerAjaxSettings Url="/api/home/fileoperations"

                           UploadUrl="/api/home/upload"

                           DownloadUrl="/api/home/download"

                           GetImageUrl="/api/home/getimage">

    </FileManagerAjaxSettings>

</SfFileManager>

For your reference we attached a sample and SQL provider.

Sample: Attached as a zip file.

Provider:  SyncfusionExamples/sql-server-database-aspcore-file-provider: This repository contains the SQL server database file provider in ASP.NET Core for the Syncfusion File Manager component.

Check out the sample and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Dear Saravanan,

Thank you so much for your quick response.

This did indeed prevent the dialog from showing and all was looking good until the media name contained additional periods.

For example, 1.1.5.jpg displayed as 1.1.5.  OK.  But when renaming to 1.1.6 it instead became 1.  The renamed version cannot contain the period character.

Please can this be fixed.

Best regards,

Steve
