It would be nice if the file access service allowed you get file metadata, like the last modified date.
Also, would like to be able to browse a directory programatically / watch a directory for changes.
Yo Joe,
Adding last modified date could be a really simple (and nice) addition to File Access. Feel free to add that as a request to the github project
http://github.com/lloyd/bp-fileaccess/tree/master (that's the next version of FileAccess)
As far as programatically browsing directories, that's a bit scary. We've been careful to only allow a page access to files that a user has selected, either by draging and dropping them onto a page, or by selecting them in a file browse dialog. The act of selecting a file from within the context of a page is what we consider to be "implicit consent".
Does that restriction make sense to you?
best,
lloyd
