Sorry for chime in. Do you guys have a convenient way to input a file path via browser? I've tried these.
1) INPUT(_name='the_path') # User have to type it 2) INPUT(_name='a_file', _type='file') This is assuming that the web server is running on local machine as a desktop application. However, in old days the file object contains path info, but that is no longer the case in recent browsers. 3) So I guess I have to somehow design a dedicated interface to "browse" the directories on my server. Or does it already exist somewhere? Do you have better way?
