Track Progress

With Thin Upload it is possible to have a great degree of control over the filenames. The applet can be configured to preserve full (absolute) pathnames or convert them into relative pathnames (file name component only) It is also possible to URL Encode pathnames so that scripting engines such as PHP will not discard this information.

Full Path

As the name suggests the full_path setting determines if absolute pathnames should be sent to the server. If you switch this off, folder information will be stripped from the filenames.

Example

full_path=yes

Translate Path

When the translate_path setting is switched on, windows style pathnames will be converted to unix style paths. In other words '\' becomes '/'. This setting is required for Resumable file upload.

Example

translate_path=yes

Encode Path

When encode_path setting is switched on, pathnames are URLEncoded. This is usefull if you are dealing with filenames that contain special characters. this setting is required for resumable file upload.

Example

encode_path=yes
