nv-file-select selection of same file after removing it does not work

Should the isEmptyAfterSelection function in the src/services/FileSelect.js really only be dependent on the multiple attribute? I e.g. need to reset the input field without the multiple attribute after selection.

I got a input element with the nv-file-select attribute like this

    <input id="upload-input"
           ng-disabled="vm.uploader.isUploading"
           type="file"
           accept=".ext"
           nv-file-select=""
           uploader="vm.uploader">

When i have selected the file foo.ext and then i am removing it with item.remove(); it is not in my queue anymore. Though the input element still has the value foo.ext. So when i want to select this file again because i have removed it accidentally - it wont work since the change event will not be thrown.

I found the solution the follow link: https://github.com/nervgh/angular-file-upload/pull/357 Just update the angular-file-upload.js or you can add additional condition (https://github.com/nervgh/angular-file-upload/pull/357/files)

This fix which reset the value of the input element doesn't work in IE10, and probably other versions of IE. Any idea of the correct way to fix this in IE ?

Take the latest version of angular-file-upload.js. It has the fix for IE
