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.
I very much agree with you, I'm missing this feature in kde webkit. However I'm told it's complex to implement, since there is no interface for this :( I guess that means it would require changes in webkit itself.

Yep. This needs to be reported upstream against QtWebKit: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs
