Many users of my sites are having confusion around the file picker/upload control in the documents module (DNN v3.1.1).  Here's what they do:  They want to upload a new file, so they click the Upload New File link, then Browse... and they pick the file they want.  Problem is, they never click the Upload Selected File link.

Having to click Upload Selected File is not intuitive so people miss this step.  When they miss it, one of 2 problems ocurrs:  The document is simply linked to the first document in the list, which is wrong, or it somehow is linked to a bad file ID. 

It seems this is a bug to allow the user to browse for a new file, then accept the Update link without forcing them to either upload the file or choose an existing one. 

SUGGESTION:  If the user chooses a new file, just upload it automatically when they click Update.  Don't make them click Upload Selected File.  You could leave it as an option, but don't require it.

I see this is still a problem in the latest DNN version.  Is there any chance the upload behavior will be changed in a future release.  This really is causing problems for users of the module; esp. occassional website editors.

The file upload control (UrlControl) is part of the core.  You would be better off posting this in one of the general DNN forums (as more people will read it) rather than here in the documents module forum.
