Description chris fleizach 2012-10-26 18:02:31 PDT 
The value of the file upload button is not exposed on the Mac.

This is a tough problem to solve on the Mac because there are three pieces of information. 1) the type of button, 2) the text on the button, 3) the text for the value

The best compromise we think is to label this as a file upload button type in the role description, and then expose the file path text as the AXTitle. 

This will give the more relevant information and should be clear what is happening
