Load all files from a directory in JavaScript / HTML5
I want my site visitors to select a directory with files and then process them in JavaScript. I know how to let them select many individual files, but not entire directories, which is very important here.
How can I do that? File processing must be done in JavaScript. It should work in newest Firefox, Chrome and IE if possible.
I can't tell them to zip the files and then pick zip as it could be several GB of files to process.
Maybe Flash can help?

Found looking for an example myself, but I haven't researched the source yet. Works in Chrome on Windows 8.1. Hope this helps someone.
