We could have three different kinds of file inputs: one type for files, another for directories, and yet another for handling both files and directories. This means that if a developer has a use case for only wanting a user to pick a directory (even on Mac OS X), they would have that option. > > Like with options 2 and 3, I would definitely be ok with this option too. One more thought. I think option 5 is essentially option 2 plus also add support for <input type=directory>. I.e. if we do option 5 I'd prefer to do it by having <input type=file directories> work as described in option 2, but then also have <input type=directory>. One important question though is what would <input type=file directories> do on platforms that don't have a directory UI concept? Like most mobile platforms? / Jonas
