I've been trying to use Flask-Uploads to allow users to upload a photo, but I always seem to hit a wall. I've checked out the documentation(which I think needs improvisation) and also the example project that came with the package. I also asked for help at the IRC channel but it didn't really help. So, at this point I'm really frustrated with the extension and wanted to know if there are any alternative ways to upload files. Samrat Man Singh

May I ask what specific problems you were encountering with the extension and the documentation? I would love to know how I could improve the documentation, and possibly help with your problem. Thanks. Matthew Frazier
Leafstorm, My suggestion for the documentation would be to provide a quickstart(like the Flask and Flask-SQLAlchemy) docs so even someone just starting out with Flask(someone like me) won't get lost. As for the problem, I kept hitting a wall with UploadSet. It said that I needed to specify a directory but I didn't really know how to set the default_dest.

Hi Samrat, Have you taken a look at this section in the Flask documentation? http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/fileuploads/ Phil On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 2:56 AM, Samrat Man Singh <samratmansingh@gmail.com>wrote: > I've been trying to use Flask-Uploads to allow users to upload a photo, but > I always seem to hit a wall.
