[REQUEST] UserMedia Capture - Load image

Ashley Why didn't you add an option to select pictures in hard drive instead of use camera?

According to example 5, ignore upload function, just draw on canvas in client-side:

Using File API, it's now compatible in most browsers for mobile devices, http://caniuse.com/fileapi

Node-webkit is other story, only for desktops but useful to write and read external files without permission.

+1 would like to know this too.

The part of the spec you referenced is an extension to the input element, which isn't really relevant to User Media since it's not a form control. I guess a file-chooser form control could be useful though - I'll look in to it for the next beta.

That's great news! Would be useful for many applications such as map editors, profile pictures/ avatars etc within our games. Right now I use this file reader plugin but it is sort of slow and outdated. It doesn't work with webgl to render a picture from mobile photos into a sprite but works with the standard canvas2d. https://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-filereader_t67997?&hilit=filereader I don't know if this helps you in any way giving you what input control that is out there right now but thanks for looking into it!
