This work sees the implementation of a picker UI for choosing a folder and return it as a StorageFolder implementation.

Hey there! I've been using your foundation packages and providing a Xamarin.Forms portable API that calls your platform-specific libs via dependency injection. I know I did a little work related to this, but I might be able to help here, if I can get a better idea what the details are on this issue.

Here's my portable API layer project: https://xdevapps.visualstudio.com/XPlat.Storage.Portable

Hey @jasells, on this one, Windows has an API for picking folders, similar to picking files called the FolderPicker.

Where possible, I think it would be useful to try and replicate as much functionality as possible for each platform. I don't expect that every feature will be available on each platform mind.

Also, on a side note, if there is a way we can incorporate your changes for Xamarin.Forms into this main repository (if you'd like to that is), that would be awesome!

Well, mine is built on top of yours.  Very thin portable layer, probably easier to leave it that way? Maye I don’t understand what you  mean…  If you mean move the repos over to GitHub in the XPlat project… that might make some sense, I Just don’t care for GitHub as much as devpos. Sent from Mail for Windows From: James CroftSent: Sunday, October 3, 2021 9:03 AMTo: XPlat-Apps/XPlat-Windows-APIsCc: jasells; MentionSubject: Re: [XPlat-Apps/XPlat-Windows-APIs] Implement Windows.Storage.Pickers.FolderPicker (#39) Also, on a side note, if there is a way we can incorporate your changes for Xamarin.Forms into this main repository (if you'd like to that is), that would be awesome!—You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.Triage notifications on the go with GitHub Mobile for iOS or Android.
