More accurate ‘Progress’ bar on media/file uploads

This is a great point.

We would hate to give users inaccurate feedback.

Since most of the uploading is done on the server, this is kind of tricky, but I will attempt to add a client event that gets realtime progress via websockets. I’ll keep you posted on that.

Appreciate the thought and consideration. I’m comparing it to something like using the Gravity forms multi file upload, the progress bar there is smooth and accurate, and I’ve used this in a few instances rather than the frontend admin plugin to upload files, just for this reason. (Mostly because I WAS actually having server related issues with uploads, but it was hard to debug because I didn’t know if progress was just slow, or getting stuck at a particular point, or just failing…so as a dev trying to debug, it was helpful to see the actual progress)

As an example you can check this page: https://sacastings.com/upload/ and when you upload a file, can see the progress. Can’t speak to how it’s done, but that’s along the lines of what I’d love to see…

Also note that it’s probably a nitpicky request, but that’s more of a testament to the plugin because it does SO many things SO well, I’ve no complaints about core functionality. This plugin has literally made my whole project possible, and it would havebeen a massive pain to have undertaken otherwise so thank you!

Incredible, thank you for the kind words.

@nilssondigital I would really appreciate if you left a 5 star review with your experience. ??
