Validation in UI?

[apneadiving]

First things first: Thanks, I really like your plugin.

Second: not a bug but I can't understand why the validation part is in the UI file. Actually, I'd like to validate but I don't need the UI layer. What's the logic behind it?

Thanks,

Ben

Validation on the client-side is there to improve the user experience.
Without a UI there is no way to give any feedback about the validation errors.
Also, I want to keep the basic plugin just that, a basic and simple API to do file uploads.
Maybe it would make sense to move the validation out of the UI plugin into a separate plugin, similar to the File Processing plugin. But then, the validation code is not that large, except the maxNumberOfFiles update code, which needs to be included into several callbacks.
