Web applications don't have access to local files -- at least not in the open/edit/save editor scenario.

I am not up to date with it, to be honest. I know there is a WebUSB API and whatnot. Having access to files might not be that far-fetched.

I have a robot who's firmware can be updated via bluetooth from a web application running in Chrome -- so I get your point. Oddly enough, arbitrary access to files are still off limits.
