Rather that registering a 'change' event listener on the
window
, which will thus (unnecessarily) fire in a number of other situations such as e.g. when the user changes the pageNumber or the current search term, we could/should just register it directly on the dynamically createdfileInput
DOM element instead.I can see no really compelling reason why we actually need to listen for
file
changes on thewindow
itself, and this way we're also able to keep thefileInput
related code confined to one part of the code which should aid readability.Furthermore, in custom deployments, there's less risk that we're going to interfere with "outside" code this way.
Finally, preprocessor guards were added to the
webViewerOpenFile
function, since that code doesn't make sense in e.g. the extension builds.Fixes #8915.
