Files cannot be selected on iPad #4

Reported by Andy Miller via email:

On my iPad, the button brings up a menu with just two options 'Take Photo or Video' and 'Photo Library'. Neither of these seems to lead to my folder with IGC files.

I am unable to investigate this myself as I do not have an iPad.

The issue may not be fixable because the HTML code is only able to request a file input element, leaving its behaviour and appearance up to the browser.

It is possible that the security restrictions in iOS might prohibit the browser from seeing files in other parts of the system.
