[Question]: Weird behavior when uploading files via chat in demo
Describe your problem
When uploading e.g. a pdf file via Chatbox in order to ask it questions about it, the "Uploading" progress of the file is not shown, instead a new chat is opened, while the old chat has the name of the uploaded file. When going to the knowlege base, one can then see the uploaded file. After a few seconds, it then is automatically parsed.
Below an example image (both chats above are empty, they were simply created after I tried to upload 2 documents)
As far a I know, when asking questions, it should normally show the uploaded document below the users question (for that chat at least).
It would be awesome to instead implement the uploading the way described in #2223 . Not just for convenience reasons, but also for security reasons (at least from an enterprise perspective)
@Said-Apollo 👋 Thanks so much for your suggestion, and sorry for the delayed response!
Currently, we only support storing files through the knowledge base 📚, so your use case isn’t fully supported just yet. That said, we totally see the value in having a dedicated temporary buffer for file uploads within chats, and we’ll keep this in mind as we continue improving the system 🛠️.
Appreciate your feedback and interest in the project! Feel free to share more ideas — we’re always happy to hear them 🙌
