Ian Clelland created CB-6057:
--------------------------------

             Summary: File plugin needs a native method to map to filesystem paths
                 Key: CB-6057
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6057
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ian Clelland
            Assignee: Ian Clelland


With the move from file paths in Javascript to the abstraction of File URLs, many plugins have lost the ability to easily get to the actual device filesystem from a File object passed in from an application.

File should be exposing a public, documented method to convert from a {{cdvfile://}} URL to either a device filesystem path, or some kind of stream object. (possibly both).
