Blueimp File Upload: single file upload

Question

I'm using Blueimp File Upload, how can I limit the upload to the last single element selected or (drag and) dropped? I already deleted the multiple attribute from input form and I set the maxNumberOfFiles option to the value 1 but if the first upload fails (because of the option maxFileSize or acceptFileTypes) the first element stays on top of the listed selected files (generated by template) and further files cannot be uploaded because they infringe the maxNumberOfFiles option. I'd desire that if an accepted file is upload and/or dropped, instead of being appended, it would replace the old (not accepted) file. I would also that the templates never prints more than one file when multiple files are dropped but only the first file.

are you using the UI version or the basis plugin? show us your code! – Lei

I'm using the Basic Plus UI plugin. It is the standard plugin code less multiple property in input tag <input type="file" name="files[]"> as stated in the [plugin FAQ] (github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/…) – Endothermic

Did you resolve this issue? If so, please help! Thanks! – Selffulfillment
