Exit after successful file upload

[philippconzett]

I have been able to upload several ~5 GB files organized in several folders. However, I'm not sure how to proceed after successful file upload:

1. Maybe some instructions could be added, e.g., "You may now close this web browser tab" (or similar).

2. When refreshing the dataset landing page one needs to confirm the following message:
   

But after clicking the Continue button, a new DVWebloader tab is opened.

To see the uploaded file, I actually had to close the tab with the dataset landing page also, and then click into the dataset from the repository/collection landing page once more.

Depending on how this tool/feature is further developed, the comments above are possible irrelevant.

I guess the idea is that folder/file upload as now implemented in DVWebloader would be implemented so that a Dataverse installation admin could configure this kind of upload as the default, and depositors would simply click the usual upload button to upload folders/files this way. Another side is download. Will it work along the same lines? Maybe we can discuss further progress on email or a call. Thanks!

The form resubmission is general to at least dataset external tools, so a separate issue and something that goes away if/when this isn't a tool.

Having more progress/completion info and then a note to close the window and return to the dataset makes sense.

I don't think this should get swapped in as the default upload (you can't actually upload just one file with this unless it is alone in a folder) but it could be an option like DropBox/Globus. Time/interest permitting, any/all of those could potentially show up in the same Dataset window rather than as a separate tab.

W.r.t. next steps - a call or email, or a google doc, makes sense - basically getting a prioritized list of changes together would help.

Thanks! I'have created a Google doc and will share the link via email.

The code now shows a success message that indicate you should close the window and refresh the dataset window to see the uploads.

Things have been improved and I'm not sure there's anything left undone for this issue. If so, let's use a new issue.
