Pull Request Checklist

Note to first-time contributors: Please open a discussion post in Discussions to discuss your idea/fix with the community before creating a pull request, and describe your changes before submitting a pull request.

This is to ensure large feature PRs are discussed with the community first, before starting work on it. If the community does not want this feature or it is not relevant for Open WebUI as a project, it can be identified in the discussion before working on the feature and submitting the PR.

Before submitting, make sure you've checked the following:

  • Target branch: Verify that the pull request targets the dev branch. PRs targeting main will be immediately closed.
  • Description: Provide a concise description of the changes made in this pull request down below.
  • Changelog: Ensure a changelog entry following the format of Keep a Changelog is added at the bottom of the PR description.
  • Documentation: Add docs in Open WebUI Docs Repository. Document user-facing behavior, environment variables, public APIs/interfaces, or deployment steps.
  • Dependencies: Are there any new or upgraded dependencies? If so, explain why, update the changelog/docs, and include any compatibility notes. Actually run the code/function that uses updated library to ensure it doesn't crash.
  • Testing: Perform manual tests to verify the implemented fix/feature works as intended AND does not break any other functionality. Include reproducible steps to demonstrate the issue before the fix. Test edge cases (URL encoding, HTML entities, types). Take this as an opportunity to make screenshots of the feature/fix and include them in the PR description.
  • Agentic AI Code: This Pull Request was prepared with the assistance of an AI copilot and has been thoroughly reviewed and manually tested by the author to ensure quality and adherence to project standards.
  • Code review: Have you performed a self-review of your code, addressing any coding standard issues and ensuring adherence to the project's coding standards?
  • Design & Architecture: Prefer smart defaults over adding new settings; use local state for ephemeral UI logic. Open a Discussion for major architectural or UX changes.
  • Git Hygiene: Keep PRs atomic (one logical change). Clean up commits and rebase on dev to ensure no unrelated commits (e.g. from main) are included. Push updates to the existing PR branch instead of closing and reopening.
  • Title Prefix: To clearly categorize this pull request, prefix the pull request title using one of the following:
    • BREAKING CHANGE: Significant changes that may affect compatibility
    • build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
    • ci: Changes to our continuous integration processes or workflows
    • chore: Refactor, cleanup, or other non-functional code changes
    • docs: Documentation update or addition
    • feat: Introduces a new feature or enhancement to the codebase
    • fix: Bug fix or error correction
    • i18n: Internationalization or localization changes
    • perf: Performance improvement
    • refactor: Code restructuring for better maintainability, readability, or scalability
    • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc.)
    • test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
    • WIP: Work in progress, a temporary label for incomplete or ongoing work

Changelog Entry

Description

  • Enabled drag-and-drop support for files dragged from the OpenTerminal workspace sidebar into the chat. The files are securely downloaded from the terminal instance and passed as context for RAG or other file-processing tasks.

Added

  • Added support for the application/x-terminal-file MIME type in the MessageInput drag-and-drop handler.
  • Integrated downloadFileBlob API in the chat input layer to resolve and download terminal files instantly on drop.

Additional Information

  • This brings parity to the drag-and-drop UX which already supported dropping OS files and Chat history.
  • Feedback toast is displayed during the terminal file download to inform users of any processing delay.

Manual Verification Performed

  1. Open the OpenTerminal sidebar in a workspace.
  2. Click and drag a file item (e.g. data.csv or script.py) directly into an active chat area.
  3. Verify that the "Drop files here" UI illuminates.
  4. Drop the file.
  5. Verify that an info toast "Downloading [filename] from OpenTerminal..." briefly appears.
  6. Verify that the file is successfully added to the chat input ready to be sent.
  7. Send a query with the attached file to ensure the file is used as a source by the LLM.
