Hello,
I have added "file://" support in submission allowing users to save and
restore data instances on local disk with regular files.
This is based on a Java applet. There are some integrated security
restrictions such as forbidden file extensions (.exe,...) and maximum
size (100 Mo). BOM is not yet supported.
Each time, a Java file dialog is displayed to allow the user to select
the folder and to enter the file shortname. This dialog is initialized
with the path after "file://", if any.
I have tested this successfully on Windows with FireFox, IE and Chrome
(there were some errors before accepting the applet, maybe wait
instructions (1 or 2 seconds) might help...) but it doesn't work yet
with Opera. Please find my test case below.
Thank you for your feedbacks!
-Alain
