Firefox 50 and support to FileSystem API

Open woranl opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

A subset of the File and Directory Entries API has been implemented in Firefox 50 [Link]. What does it mean to the future of the FileSystem API and this Polyfill?

Besides the naming differences, it looks like FF doesn't support much of the local filesystem api. I'm not sure trying to polyfill for FF will add much value atm.

I don't really get FF 50 implementation. What's the point of a read only subset of the API. Without write capability, it can't do much anyway. Hopefully, Chrome will not deprecate this useful API. It's the only way to effectively create large file from chunks.
