How to delete firmware files from "Device Firmware Updater" app?

After successfully updating the firmware on some devices I no longer have the need for their respective firmware files on my hub. However, the "Firmware File Manager" option in the app only seems to allow upload additional files, there is no option to delete existing ones and I couldn't find any other place to delete them either.

What is the correct way to delete unused firmware files from the app?

Thanks - that button is invisible for me but I can still push it :rofl:

Weird. What browser are you using?

Safari - seems like it's a CSS issue. If I increase the window width (a lot), I start seeing them:


Since the iOS app just uses a WebView, the same issue is present in the app as well.

Safari on what device? I can make by browser window any size and it shows up in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

Here's Safari with the window as small as I can make it.

Both Safari on a Mac and iPhone as well as the Hubitat iOS app. I was finally able to delete them by having my window span two screens…

What platform build are you running? I'd like to investigate this a little further. I cannot duplicate it on my Intel MB Air running Mac OS 11.1.

I'll check my iPhone against the same build as you're running.

Are you running with a new M1 chip or Intel? What MacOS and Safari version?
Which iOS version is your phone running?

All up-to-date OS on both the Mac (MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)) as well as iPhone (iPhone 12 Pro, running iOS 14.4.2 (18D70), Hubitat Version 1.1.2 (104))

MacBook Pro:

Model Identifier:	MacBookPro11,3
Processor Name:	    Quad-Core Intel Core i7
System Version:	    macOS 11.2.3 (20D91)
Safari Version:     14.0.3 (16610.4.3.1.7)

Hubitat

Platform Version: hub-2.2.6.137
Hardware Version: Rev C-7

It’s a screen width problem that makes it unusable on a mobile device because the trash can is off the screen far to the right. It does work on a big desktop monitor. I’ve asked @bcopeland several times if he would please move the trash can to the left margin. He’s been busy, I guess.

That doesn't sound the same as what he's seeing though. He has to expand the window a lot to see it, yet I can make the window as small as I can on Safari and still see it. He also cannot see it on his iPhone, but I'm running .137 as well and can see it on my iPhone 10 running iOS 14.2 in Chrome for iOS, Safari for iOS and from within the Hubitat app. He also said it's actually there (he can select it) but for some reason, he cannot see it until he expands the window a lot (very scientific measurement a lot is. :wink:).

Sorry @aamann, but I cannot duplicate this issue on a Mac or an iPhone.

It seems to depend on the length of the filenames for the existing FW files - if they're very long the layout seems to break.

OK, duh. I just realized I was trying this in the hub File Manager, not the file manager that is part of the device firmware updater. I can duplicate this on Safari for iOS and Safari for MacOS (but not when the window is the smallest size). However it does jump in and out as I play with the width of the window.

This is Safari for Mac OS and mobile browsers only though. It's fine on Chrome and Firefox for MacOS.

Thanks for the report.

Firefox was better but the delete buttons were still misaligned and not visible at all window widths.

Only have a 13" screen to test with here. Couldn't duplicate that issue in Firefox for MacOS.

It should probably follow the same layout as the hub File Manager though, which doesn't have a problem on any browser.

iOS 14.4.2 on 256 GB iPhone 7, and iPad OS 14.4.2 on 512 GB iPad Pro 10.5”:

it’s fine on iMac but unusable on mobile devices. Repeatable on every firmware release since Device Firmware Updater app was released. C-7, 2.2.6.137

Yes. All iOS mobile, regardless of the browser has the issue, but only Safari for MacOS has it severely. Chrome is fine and Firefox worked fine in my tests.

There are still issues on Firefox as well:

  • Highlight in the Apps list is off:

  • Mis-aligned delete icons when window is narrow (I already deleted the ones with the really long file names but those would have fallen off to the right by now):

  • Confirm delete button is not or partially visible:

I tried to look at the HTML code but I guess I'm too old school and not used to all those frameworks… :older_man:

Firefox is a pain. There was supposedly a plan for them to move to the Chromium rendering engine, but that hasn't happened. My friend works for Mozilla, but skillfully ignores my complaints.

Safari moved away from Chromium and look what a mess that has made of things. Microsoft is the only company that seems to have finally dropped out and tuned in. :v:

Not going to get into browser wars but if the layout is wrong on two different rendering engines the problem is more likely with the HTML/CSS than the rendering engines…
