using webkitRequestFileSystem, I want to do something very simple: get a file from user, save it to browser local filesystem, and use it later (for example as image src etc)
I read about webkitRequestFileSystem but I didn't find anything about cloning files from user (maybe I missed it?).
so I tried a naive implementation of reading, getting file, writing, and everything seems to works (calls the success callback), and I can see the file with a chrome extension (HTML5 filesystem explorer), but when I try to use the image url it shows a broken image icon.
here's the snippet to clone the file (sort-of, had to clean it up a little):
var src_file = .... <-- got it from user
filesystem.root.getFile("output.png", {create: true}, function(dest_file)
{
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onerror = function() {alert("ERROR")};
reader.onload = function(e)
{
read_buffer = e.target;
dest_file.createWriter(function(fileWriter) {
var blob = new Blob([read_buffer.result], {type: 'application/octet-stream'}); // <-- also tried "image/png" etc..
fileWriter.onerror = function() {alert("ERROR2")};
fileWriter.onwriteend = function(writer)
{
alert("SUCCESS!");
};
fileWriter.write(blob);
}, function() {alert("ERROR3")});
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(src_file);
});
PS I work on localhost, is that an issue?
Thanks!
