Manage file dialogs for node-webkit
npm install node-webkit-fdialogs
This package help to use file dialogs in Node-Webkit.
Node-webkit does not offer any solution to manage fdialogs, quatem they:
We do not provide file dialog API in javascript for following reasons now:
- Our way is the standard way of HTML, it will not cause errors if you move to other platforms.
- Better code reusing.
But if the need is very strong, we will provide it in future.
For easy use of file selection by dialogs, this package offer a some of methods for work with file elements.
