Select full path when selecting a file

[illud]

Hello,
Is there a way to get full path when a file is selected via input, or is there a way to disable path security.
when selecting a file it says C:/fakepath/filename

No. That's a browser/Webview API limitation.

I solved it by using Dialog and calling it in frontend

main.go

  func (a *App) GameExePath() string {
      selection, err := runtime.OpenFileDialog(a.ctx, runtime.OpenDialogOptions{
  	    Title: "It's your turn!",
      })
  
      if err != nil {
  	    fmt.Println(err)
      }
      return selection
  }

Frontend

  import { GameExePath } from "../../wailsjs/go/main/App";
  
  const handleFindFile = async () => {
        await GameExePath().then((result) => {
            console.log(result)
        });
  }

Output

  C:/games/monster hunter/mh.exe

Nicely done! It would be great to intercept the HTML file button click and do this instead.
