I'm using jasny bootstrap file input image upload widget. Here's the link jasny bootstrap file input & this is my jsfiddle for image upload widget

Steps:

1. Select any file
2. Click on 'Change'
3. In the dialog box, click 'Cancel'

Description:

Suppose i am selecting File1 as input, now i want to change it, so i click on Change button. The dialog box will appear, now i change my mind and want to stick with File1, so i click Cancel. Now if you will see File1 is deselected.

Expected Result:

Even after Cancelling the process, i should be able to see File1 as Selected in my File Input.

---

I know that this is the default behaviour of google chrome file input but if you see Single Image Upload on Angular HTML5 file upload - single image upload

you'll find that it is preserving the File1 as selected.

Answer 1

var file1 = $('#file1').val()

$('#file-upload').on('change.bs.fileinput', function(e, file) {
  //console.log(e)
  $('#file1').val(file1)
});


$('#file-upload').on('clear.bs.fileinput', function(e, file) {
  //console.log(e)
  $('#file1').val(file1)
});
