Known Bugs for upload control

The option "replace file name" does not work in 8.5. Fix is planned for 8.5.1.
The submit/save button needs to do a full refresh, not a partial refresh.

Workaround for known bug in download control

If your application is in a subdirectory on your domino server the download control does not work, it presents wrong paths to the files. This is a known bug and is planned to fix in 8.5.1.
John Mackey found the following workaround:

- go to all properties of the download control
- set all properties -> data -> var to "rowData"
- navigate to fileNameHrefValue property and add the following javascript:

if (!@IsNewDoc()) {

return "0/"+datasource.getDocument().getUniversalID()+"/<dollar>FILE/"+rowData.getName();

} else {

return "#";

}

Important: replace "<dollar>" with the dollar char!!!

Replace "datasource" with your actual datasource in your XPage.
