Preview the photo being submitted within the upload form. This allows a contributor to identify the photo they've chosen (to ensure it's the one they intended, to prevent a duplicate or too-similar photo, etc), which isn't always apparent based on filename. And by allowing the photo to be expanded, this also facilitates being able to easily and quickly reference the details of the photo while composing its description.

See WordPress/wporg-photo-directory#53.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The upload form now displays a local preview for the selected photo. Users can open the preview in a modal dialog. The change adds dialog behavior, preview lifecycle handling, localized alternative text, asset versioning, and supporting styles.

Changes

Photo preview flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upload markup and asset wiring
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/inc/uploads.php
The upload form now outputs preview controls and a modal dialog. The stylesheet is enqueued, the script uses filemtime() versioning, and preview_alt is localized.
File selection and preview lifecycle
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/assets/js/submit.js
File validation now loads selected files for local previews. Dimension checks run when earlier validation passes. Missing or empty files clear the preview.
Preview dialog interaction and presentation
wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/assets/js/submit.js, wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/assets/css/submit.css
The preview button opens the dialog. Close actions dismiss it. Styles constrain images, add the backdrop, and define button and focus states.

Rapidly changing or clearing the selected photo can leave an outdated preview or validation result, creating a localized correctness issue for contributors.

- Line 360: Update the FileReader callback around photoShowFilePreview and its
later img.decode() handling to ignore stale results when the selected file has
changed or been cleared. Before updating preview state and again before changing
custom validity, verify that field.files.item( 0 ) === file; preserve
current-file validation behavior.

In
`@wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photo-directory/inc/uploads.php`:
- Line 257: Update the plugins_url call to use the __DIR__ constant instead of
dirname( __FILE__ ) as the script base path, preserving the existing asset URL
and behavior.
- Line 1037: Add a localized accessible name to the dialog markup generated in
the photo preview output, using an appropriate aria-label or aria-labelledby
tied to the dialog’s purpose. Preserve the existing dialog ID and class
attributes.

- Prevent race condition if chosen photo is quickly replaced
- Clear the preview and show an error message if file can't be read instead of showing a stuck "Validating..." message.
- Abort any in-flight `FileReader` before starting another
