Hi all, as discussed in the joint WebApps API - DAP face to face, here is a rough proposal for the Directories and System parts of the File API:
http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/file-dir-sys.html There are two entry points. One is through navigator.device.fileSystems(), which upon success lists all available FSs. Naturally that only expected to be exposed in trusted environments (like widgets). The other is a localFS attribute of window that is intended to work in the same manner as localStorage and friends. I expect that this is as far as browsers may be interested in going. I can think of some useful applications for it. Comments are very much welcome, *BUT* it is very much appreciated if they can be made on the DAP's mailing list ([email protected]) rather than here. -- Robin Berjon robineko — hired gun, higher standards http://robineko.com/
