           Summary: KHTML-like choose file/folder path or URL field in
                    WebKit
           Product: kwebkitpart
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Chakra
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: webkit-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: adriyetichaves at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

KHTML field to choose an URL, file or folder path displays a field where you
can write, and a Dolphin/folder icon you can press to choose a file or folder
from your filesystem. This is great, because you can i.e. paste in the field an
URL from a website and upload it to another, skipping the “download here,
upload there” step.

In the other hand, in WebKit, you can only choose a file or folder from your
filesystem.

I would love to see this KHTML feature in WebKit, if possible.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
WebKit allowing you to manually write an URL instead of choosing a file or
folder from your filesystem when asked to enter a path in a website.

As an example, opening http://bayimg.com/ with KHTML you can check out this
behavior. In this site, you could just paste the path to an image in another
website, and upload it directly.
