My understanding is that with the new file APIs you are basically requesting a sandboxed filesystem, then you can write and read there as you please. Though I don't know how the shell would then have access to that filesystem, to be able to move the files into the datastore. Chromium must be doing something similar to allow writing stuff to google drive using those interfaces, though they implemented their interfaces directly into Webkit. </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote"> <div><div> On 30 April 2013 17:34, <<a href="mailto:lionel@olpc-france.org" target="_blank">lionel@olpc-france.org</a>> wrote: </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div><div> <div link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" lang="FR"><div>Hi all, As we decided to our IRC meeting last week, I’ve wrote a first draft proposal for the JavaScript DataStore interface [1]. Basically the interface just match the DataStore existing interface. The main issue is related to the concept of "file":- File is at the heart of the DataStore concept: the DataStore is nothing else than a place to store files and metadata related to files, - But: file handling is not a common practice in JavaScript! The good news is that HTML5 comes with few File system and Files handling functions [2][3]. I didn’t test it but it should work on WebKit. Do not hesitate to comment/update.
