Re: pgAdmin 4 1.0-beta4 - Query Tool, Select file popup issues

Sorry, you are right, I replied to hastily, I realized what you meant after I played with Slack a bit more.

Indeed, it behaves more like a browser, for example it saves files to a Downloads folder.

Well, In this case I will wait to see what the next versions bring.

I still don’t like this, but now I understand why it was done like this.

I use Slack and it is also based on webkit, and it uses the native file dialog for file uploads.

If you selectively edit what I wrote, it'll always be easy to argue a point with me. Please read the paragraph in full:

As I've pointed out a number of times now, it is not possible to use the native file dialogues because of the security imposed by webkit (the same browser engine as is used in Chrome and Safari). Those security measures minimise the use of the dialogues to downloading files and form based uploads, which would make use of them very cumbersome for this purpose. We wouldn't be able to track recently used files and allow them to be opened from a menu, nor would we be able to to "Save" a file - it would always be "Save As", with no way for us to control the default directory (even if it was a file you just opened).
