Once again I’m asking this question, and still can’t find any reasonable solution.
I need to build a web tool – file uploader which gives you ability to browse local files (pics) on the user machine and upload them. And not just files but also entire directories.
It should be cross platform. At least it should work on PC and Mac and in the latest major browsers.
JavaScript doesn’t allow you do that – whatever for good or bad. I hoped that I could do that with Silverlight. In order to do that I’m gonna need to run the app in out-of-browser mode with elevated trust. I found a good example here. Unfortunately it doesn’t work on Mac – only Windows.

I don’t think there is a way to trick SelectFile dialog to make it able to select multiple files and directories, is there?
-
I wonder, maybe there is a way with some new SL 5 features, which is just came out?
-
I don’t think that would be possible with Flash…(?)
Help me out here guys. Really need your advice. Thank you.
Seems tt is quite possible with Silverlight after all. Next question partly provides an answer.
