Hi there, I have a couple of suggestions for files that are uploaded via the forms.

1st - The saved file name should be 'sanitized' to remove spaces, single quotes, and whatever else a user may have in their file name. I had to hack the software to do this. My specific requirement was to pass this file name on to another system and if the name had spaces, etc, the receiving system would not be able to process it.

2nd - Make a thumbnail and on click to show a full size version of uploaded images. Again, I had to hack the software to put out an image tag for uploaded files so my users can quickly review them.

Hi there,

I know this is an old post, but the problem with sanitizing the file names is still there.
I too need to find a way of removing spaces, special characters etc. from the uploaded files.
Could you please post info on the hack you made ?
It's a shame this is not yet built into RSForm Pro.

Thanks,

Steve
