`startFileUpload` does not fire about file-picker HOT 6 CLOSED

To confirm, the startFileUpload event doesn't fire when you select the Computer option and perform an upload?

from file-picker.

why does it have to be the "Computer" option? In my case it is not, it was a dropbox one...

Based on the earlier discussion, we handle selected events when files in cloud storage are chosen, since they are not being 'uploaded' by the user. This is different from success when, for example, 1000 files are selected. It takes some time to create links for all of them prior to returning the information. This is when the selected event becomes useful for your use case (hiding the window so the user doesn't need to wait).

This is the same principle behind the startFileUpload. It fires as soon as the user clicks the primary action button (to upload the files). It fires the event for each file uploaded via the Computer. The final finishFileUpload will be followed by the success event.

Admittedly, the event types are different and have different levels of granularity. However, the process for cloud storage selections vs. the user uploading files is inherently different.

shit, hate it when i do that (wrong button).

you may want to indicate that in the docs - that startFileUpload is "Computer" only.

I can use selected for cloud ones

@robrobbins Yup! We'll clarify the docs.
@chriskuehl We should probably also fire the start/finish upload events for the saver as well.
