Description

With the move from file paths in Javascript to the abstraction of File URLs, many plugins have lost the ability to easily get to the actual device filesystem from a File object passed in from an application.

File should be exposing a public, documented method to convert from a cdvfile:// URL to either a device filesystem path, or some kind of stream object. (possibly both).
