when will this plugin support "write" method?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's a nice local file I/O solution for chrome extension; I can't wait to see 
the "write" method comes out.

I stopped development of this because the filesystem APIs were added to Chrome 
- do these not do what you need?

hi Dawagner,
Could you please tell me how I can access File I/O from chrome. I am trying to 
automate a few plugin validation tasks, and I am successful with writing to 
file system using Firefox but with chrome I was unable to do so. Could you 
please tell me an equivalent API in Chrome.

Thanks
Goutham

Hi Dawagner, 
For filesystem APIs, do you mean the HTML5 Filesystem? that seems require users 
running chrome with a command line(unlimited-quota-for-files) which is not nice 
enough.Also HTML5 LocalStorage can only be accessed by the corresponding 
extensions. Yours Npapi plugin is a definitely better solution regardless of 
the security issue.

best regards,
Kevin

Btw I am currently writing an extension which reads Chrome's histories and 
writes them to local so that my another console program can retrieve them.

I wasn't aware Chrome needed to be launched with a flag for HTML5 Filesystem - 
in that case, I'll finish off this plugin when I have time, possibly on Sunday 
:)

Does this support Mac chrome?

No, but it supports both Linux and windows now I believe @dawagner should make 
it work in Mac machine too. :)

Hi Dawagner, 

As I can read from the above comments you managed to complete this extension. 
From where I can download the DLLs for it? or how does this work....I am very 
new to the extension stuff. Please assist me, would really appreciate your help.

File system APIs (http://www.w3.org/TR/file-writer-api/) only work with a 
sandboxed file system. Unsandboxed File APIs doesn’t come any time soon; I 
haven’t seen any proposals.

Hi @dawagner, would you like some help on the development? I think I can help 
you with the Mac support.

As a workaround to write, if you delete a file, and write to it normally, it 
works.

I would like to use this framework to write a string to a COM port (Windows)
Are the write functions working at this point?

Warning when try to use chrome.fileSystem in a extension:
    'fileSystem' is only allowed for packaged apps, and this is a extension.
So, this is very useful library.
