Question

I have dragged’n’dropped a file on the textarea. I have the file object in JavaScript. So now I would like to call a function to add it to the pluploadQueue.

How do I do that?

I assumed that would be a function like: pluploadQueue.addFile( File ) or uploader.addFile( File ) but I can’t find it anywhere.

Any ideas?

There’s no included support yet to do that in plupload, but you can add it by exposing addSelectedFiles.

on plupload.html5.js search for where addSelectedfiles is defined and replace that line with:

var addSelectedFiles = uploader.addFiles = function(native_files) {

You can later access this from your instance by calling myinstance.addFiles(...)

You can see me making this suggestion around 7 months ago here: https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload/issues/461
sadly, the plupload devs are mostly MIA.
