05/19/2022, 2:19 PMi think u should just copy the open/save implementation from haxeui-html5 for html5 on the different backends - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:20 PMthats what im going to do... heaps-js also uses it, but since thats three places im going to move it into core, under "utils.html5" and #if js it - b
bright-gpu-74537

best-agent-85158
05/19/2022, 2:21 PMoh damn - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:21 PMif you can do it in js, you can do it in haxe - b
best-agent-85158
05/19/2022, 2:21 PMi thought its just a subset - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:21 PMnope - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:22 PMvery very occasionally you might need a little "untyped", but its super rare and imo is more about js "types" (or lack thereof) - b

05/19/2022, 2:31 PMOK, ive move the FileSelector from haxeui-html5 and into core now... and am using that for openfl when targeting js - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:31 PMso, it should all work now - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/19/2022, 2:32 PMit would probably be worth someone adapting that file selector for openfl when using js... so other, non haxeui users, can use open dialogs in openfl - b
