Now you can do this:
<%= live_file_input @uploads.files, webkitdirectory: true %>
and get
%UploadEntry{}
with a relative path.One of the drawbacks of this implementation is that you cannot drag and drop folders, you than need some more javascript to make it work. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3590058/does-html5-allow-drag-drop-upload-of-folders-or-a-folder-tree)
But I think this is an important feature as is.
Another drawback is that this not supported on most mobile phones, but should not be a problem anyway.
