Just fyi:

uses filereader. There is a bad (crashing) memory leak in Chrome.

Bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=114548...

Beware if you intend to use filreader to read many large files. Allocated mem never gets released.

Spent 2 days getting a html5 client side image resizer/uploader only to hit this killer bug.

Had to use Flash in the end, which by the way performs like a demon on binary data.



Just threw your bug report over to our FileReader engineer. Thx for filing!


No worries. I was v. disappointed when I had to fall back on flash for resizing. Felt great having client side image resize and upload (with progress) without using flash.
