I have a directory with files and I want to search into that directory for some files types.
Is it possible to do that with the new file-system API?
No, You are restricted to a sand-boxed directory client side directory within the AppData for your web-browswer.
With Chrome and windows 7 for example:
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\{browswer-user}\Default\File System\
Also, you can only access files/directories you've generated and populated via API calls.

Your HTTP server will have a configuration option somewhere (Apache HTTPD calls it DocumentRoot) which determines where http://example.com/ maps onto the filesystem of the computer.
Commonly this will be /var/www/.
Unless you change it to / (which would expose your entire filesystem over HTTP and is very much not recommended), you can't access arbitrary files on the computer.
/etc/ is used to store configuration information for software installed on the computer. It should almost never be exposed outside the computer.
The best solution to your problem is probably:
Look at the configuration of your HTTP server and identify the document root (e.g. /var/www/)
Move your website files to that directory
If you really want to expose files under /etc via HTTP then you could also change the document root.
Your webserver might also support features like Apache HTTPD's Alias directive which allows you to map a URL onto a file that can be outside the DocumentRoot.
I'm starting a new web app with Openshift (jboss, mysql). It's the first time I use openshift and after reading through some doc and experimenting a bit with it, I'm having one question regarding best practices for the architecture of my app.
There will be some files generated by- or uploaded to the application (resources). I'd like those files to be outside the deployment folder so they are not erased/overwritten when the app deploys again. I have browsed through the directories and I was wondering:
is it ok to use the /var/lib/openshift/[openshift-id]/app-root/data folder for these files?
Yes, you should use your ~/app-root/data folder for any files that you want to not be erased when you do a git push, there is also an environment variable that you can use that points to that folder called OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR. Please note that if you are using a scaled application, that folder is not shared among your gears.
In my Chrome App,I want to load local resources such as audio from user's disk.
If I add the absolute path in my code, the Chrome says "not allowed to load local resource"...
So,how to achive it? Thx
Please this is app not extension.
Chrome Apps are not allowed to access the user's file system directly. file:// URLs are forbidden, as are all the other ways you might try for accessing a file like /home/user/music/demo.mp3. This is by design (so users can install a random Chrome App and trust that it isn't going to read or write their files).
However, Chrome Apps have several APIs available for accessing sandboxed file systems. Since your example is an MP3 file in /home/user/music, you probably should use chrome.mediaGalleries, which will prompt the user for access to common media directories (like /home/user/music) at install time. Then you will be able to access certain file types in certain directories, and prompt the user for music and images in other directories.
As sowbug suggested, you could also use chrome.fileSystem, where you can prompt the user to open a file or directory of their choosing. This will give you access to all files in those directories, but you should only use this if you want non-media file types.
I'm having the following issues on a project I'm working on. We've set it up so that source assets (scss files, etc) are not publicly accessible. I'm compiling the files into a publicly accessible directory along with the source map file.
Is there anyway to allow chrome to access these source files so that I can view sourcemap info? I'm working locally.
For source maps to work you need to be accessing your site/app from a server. View your project on your favorite flavor or LAMP/XAMPP/WAMP or other local server configuration.

Is it possible to physically copy files to Isolated Storage using the ISETool? I'm trying to add a text file into Isolated Storage and then, through code, check if that file exists. When I do this, I get a "File does not exist" error.
If I add a file to Isolated Storage in code, it works successfully and I can access it in Isolated Storage via the ISETool to copy it to my PC.
Consider scenario 2:
I add a file into Isolated Storage in code, and then using the ISETool get it back to my PC. Without modifying the file, I place the SAME FILE back to Isolated Storage and try to open it through code, I see the same "File does not Exist" error.
You haven't said how you're writing files to Isolated Storage.
Instead, consider using something like Windows Phone Power Tools for this as it makes it much easier to work with files in Isolated Storage.
According to this MSDN article, you are able:
...to replace the files and directories in an app’s local folder on an
emulator or a device with files and directories from your computer....
Steps:
Deploy the app that you want to test to the emulator or a device.
Get the Product GUID for the app specified in the ProductID attribute of the App element of the WMAppManifest.xml file.
Open a Command prompt window and navigate to the location of ISETool.exe.
To replace all the files in the app’s local folder with files from your computer, type the following command using the Product GUID obtained in the previous steps and specify the source directory on your computer.
ISETool.exe rs <xd|de> <product-id> <desktop-path>
The following example shows a command that replaces the files and directories in an app’s local folder with the files from the directory "C:\Data\My Files" on your computer.
ISETool.exe rs xd 11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 "C:\Data\My Files"
Hope this helps!
yes it is possible to copy to and from isostorage of phone or emulator
