Can we change the methods to take folder/file paths rather than URIs? #138

If we can't change then what are the possible ways to convert folder/file paths to URIs?

It's worth it because I guess paths are easy to deal with (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks by the way. Your plugin saved my day. Just wanna tell you that you're doing awesome work by keeping this repository active. You inspire us all ❤️

Currently there is no way to convert path to URIs and vice-versa.

I plan to add some improvements in the future to handle paths AND uris to make the library easier to use (so you'll not need to worry about URIs, for you will be just File/Directories), but right know there is none :(

I've been busy lately but thanks to bring my attention to this, I'll check it out soon and release with other changes I've been working.

Thanks!

The "Saf" flutter plugin has kind of managed to do so. I'm wondering how?

alexrintt commented 1 year ago

[saf] is actually a fork of [shared_storage] that hides the URI part. But they are also handling with URIs, they just hide it inside the Saf class, see https://github.com/ivehement/saf/blob/master/lib/src/storage_access_framework/saf.dart.

But I didn't read the whole code, I need to take better look.
