Bug 72226 – [Qt] KHTML-like “Choose file” path or URL field

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Adrián Chaves Fernández]

KHTML field to choose a file displays a field where you can write, and a
folder icon you can press to choose a file from your filesystem (this icon
has the same behavior as current WebKit button to choose a file).

That is great, because you can, for example, paste in the field an URL from a
file in a website and upload it to another, skipping the “download here,
upload there” steps (which actually happens in KHTML, but is automated,
user does not need to perform the steps manually).

I would love to see this KHTML feature in WebKit, if possible.

Note: this was previously reported at KDe Bugs: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279012

Upload field in KHTML, with a fake URL to a PNG image. When submitting the form, the system would download that image to a temporal folder, and upload it to the website.
