Proposed feature: persistent access to an entry #10

Closed noopole closed 5 years ago

noopole commented 8 years ago

Should it be possible to retain et restore entries (selected by the user), so that a web application could get a persistent access to a file or a directory on the user files system.

I was possile with Chrome App api for example.

The privacy aspect could be processed like for the camera / microphone access, with the possibility to revoke permissions at any moment (like from the permissions list in Chrome's adresse bar).

(I know this may not be the right place to post but I don't know a better one :)

We're pursuing this over at https://github.com/WICG/writable-files/blob/master/EXPLAINER.md now - unlikely to introduce changes here.
