Do you really see it as a major benefit? :) Browsers simply use default OS "file open" window.

There is no need for page reload with iframe. max_execution_time does not affect file uploads at all. max_upload_size is usually at 2GB, so no big problem with that.

And do you say that you will not use PHP on the server side to receive files? What is it going to be? If it is still PHP, max_upload_size stays for POSTing files. And PUT is often disallowed for PHP (security reasons). Check these issues because you may run into them after releasing your code.

No need as TER ext but sysext will be great. People must be able to switch it off because many client environments do not allow flash for security reasons. This is especially important for some large companies I worked in or with.

I'd prefer if you stop making false accusations. We are not making enemies here. Everyone has rights to discuss features and say personal "like" or "don't like". And no one has rights to disallow this.
