100%

If the drag & drop option is used this behavior is not present.

Dunno why this ticket was assigned to me. Moreover, dunno if we can do anything on this type of issue.

Analyzing the contents of .dms file, it contains the response returned by the server when the uploading is terminated. Such content is of the kind "OK: ITEM_ID", "ERROR: ITEM_ID" and so on.. and it can be used by clients to perform any action... at the moment the Workspace code implemented client side simply ignores the response.
This response returned to the client is ignored (correctly) by other browsers, whereas Safari downloading it as a .dms file.
However, I found a similar strange behaviour regarding Safari and .dms file by googling:

I just released on preprod (at https://pre.d4science.org/group/pre/workspace) a patch by commenting the code to return the above response simply.
@massimiliano.assante@isti.cnr.it or @leonardo.candela@isti.cnr.it or @pasquale.pagano@isti.cnr.it can you test it?

It seems the patch is not working ... just upload a couple of files and continue receiving back the .dms file.
The strange behaviour I notice is that (now?) there is only one file back, i.e. if I upload 3 files in a sequence only one .dms file is stored in my laptop (those corresponding to the last update) ... every upload overwrites such a file.

I investigated the issue and tried to fix it but unfortunately I can't because the "issue" seems to be related to GWT Form Panel.
When an uploading is terminated, the GWT Form Panel fires an event (addSubmitCompleteHandler) and also commented the event a .dms file (in this case empty) is downloaded by Safari.
However, the issue is happening only with Safari (and not with Firefox, Chrome and Chromium).
In the future, I will implement the FORM panel through pure javascript and this will fix the issue (I hope definitively). I'm going to close this ticket and open a new dedicated one then
