Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, on Wails v1.16.8 as for windows development it depends on IE11 (as Windows development use the mshtml library which is only compatible with IE11), and On IE11, the drag and drop is not supported for folder. Whereas with Chrome, we can have file or folder drag and drop functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like
Feature that can be suitable would be native drag and drop with absolute path of dropped file/folder and if the dependency to IE11 can be removed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, We have tried the following approaches but not complete solution was found:

  1. Use ngx-file-drop library for drag and drop, it worked fine for chrome but for IE11, only file drop was working fine and not folder. But was not providing absolute path of neither file not folder..
  2. HTML Drag and drop: Failed for both file and folder.
  3. Drag and drop on Input Type=File: Failed for both file and folder.
  4. Created our own directive even it failed for both file and folder.
