Sounds like a good idea - i'll give it a try in the morning and let you know

wierd that there doesnt seem any way of directly altering the file inputs
value... perhaps its a security thing...

You could replace the file input when the URL field is focused:
$('#fu').replaceWith('');
where #fu is the file input.

hmm yeah, I did a quick google search and it appears that allowing you
to access a file input's value attribute would pose a security issue.
I found a solution but the code isn't exactly pretty

Try:
$('#input_id').focus(function(){
$(this).attr("value","");
