Hi,

There is a small bug in PLUpload, a tool I highly recommend to use to upload files to MVC 3. It works really well.

The place to download the tool is from:

http://www.plupload.com/

Now, ensure this is disabled or commented out, else you will LOSE all image properties, such as camera settings and GPS. So ensure        // resize: { width: 320, height: 240, quality: 90 } is not used!

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Convert divs to queue widgets when the DOM is ready
    $(function () {
        $("#uploader").plupload({
            // General settings
            runtimes: ‘flash,html5,browserplus,silverlight,gears,html4’,
            url: ‘home/upload’,
            max_file_size: ‘1000mb’,
            max_file_count: 20, // user can add no more then 20 files at a time
            chunk_size: ‘1mb’,
            unique_names: true,
            multiple_queues: true,

            // Resize images on clientside if we can
           // resize: { width: 320, height: 240, quality: 90 },

            // Rename files by clicking on their titles
            rename: true,

            // Sort files
            sortable: true,

            // Specify what files to browse for
            filters: [
            { title: "Image files", extensions: "jpg,gif,png" },
            { title: "Zip files", extensions: "zip,avi" }
        ],

            // Flash settings
            flash_swf_url: ‘/Scripts/plupload/plupload.flash.swf’,

            // Silverlight settings
            silverlight_xap_url: ‘/Scripts/plupload/plupload.silverlight.xap’
        });

        // Client side form validation
        $(‘form’).submit(function (e) {
            var uploader = $(‘#uploader’).plupload(‘getUploader’);

            // Validate number of uploaded files
            if (uploader.total.uploaded == 0) {
                // Files in queue upload them first
                if (uploader.files.length > 0) {
                    // When all files are uploaded submit form
                    uploader.bind(‘UploadProgress’, function () {
                        if (uploader.total.uploaded == uploader.files.length)
                            $(‘form’).submit();
                    });

                    uploader.start();
                } else
                    alert(‘You must at least upload one file.’);

                e.preventDefault();
            }
        });

    });
</script>

 

If it is not commented out, the property list of the image will only have two items.

UPDATE 24/02/2011: It does keep properties with Image Resize if HTML 5 is being used, FLASH and SILVERLIGHT does not work currently with it, so if in doubt, use HTML 5 first.
