Hi,
this is Rüdiger I’m a developer from Alkacon Software GmbH in Cologne,
Germany. This year we are planning to release our new version 8 of
OpenCms. Therefore we want to support our customers with a File API /
FormData based upload functionality. This new upload feature should also
provide drag and drop.
###
Context: HTML5 - File API in combination with Drag and Drop
Problem: If you drop directories/folders on to a defined "dropzone", I
assume that it is not possible to "detect" that the dropped file is a
directory.
Target: When a user drops a directory, I want to inform the user in some
way that directories can't be handled by the "program".
Note: I know that it should not be possible to read a whole directory
structure for security reason and that is not the point I want to make.
Suggestion: Extend the File Interface for a attribute called directory
interface File : Blob {
readonly attribute DOMString name;
readonly attribute DOMString directory;
readonly attribute DOMString lastModifiedDate;
};
directory: Has the value 'true' if the file is a directory, 'false'
otherwise
Kind regards
