Handle folder drops recursively

[InSuperposition]

When Dropping in a folder of files it treats the folder a 1 file. It would be nice if files and sub folders could be represented when one single folder is dropped in the drop zone. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the HTML5 input file type or not.

Good idea, would be great if someone could submit a PR.

The examples I have found, so far, only work in chrome.
I'll continue to look into it, I probably just need to dive into the API a bit more.

Looks like only Chrome 21+ ever implemented support for folders. No other browser supports it, so unlikely to be part of this library. Closing.

@paramaggarwal @okonet I would love to be able to upload folders - does this change the reasoning behind not supporting folders? http://superuser.com/questions/909112/does-firefox-support-folder-upload

I believe we even have a JS only implementation for that in #174 but I might be wrong. Either way, I'd like some code issues be resolved before I merge, so help is appreciated.

Correction ↑: It still uses DOM API, so more investigation is needed I think.

Great, let's move this conversation to #174

Any chance anything happened with this? I could really use the ability to either accept all files in a folder if it is dropped or somehow know it is a folder and not accept it at all.

There is a PR in progress #616
