HTML5 drag-and-drop and <input type="file"> should support FileSystem API-based async interface for dropped folders/files so that the webapps can traverse the dropped directory trees asynchronously (i.e. no blocking operations). The original proposal on whatwg: http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-November/033814.html FileSystem API: http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/file-dir-sys.html This is an umbrella bug for the feature.

All patches have been landed now and HTMLInputElement.entries (webkitEntries) and DataTransferItem.getAsEntry() (webkitGetAsEntry) will become available in chromium port for experiments. Further references: http://crbug.com/99823 http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/DragAndDropEntries
