node-webkit-fdialogs

This package help to use file dialogs in Node-Webkit.

Reazon

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.
