File

A file input control.

Important: This component has some rough edges, and should be considered experimental.

Integrates the File Input control from LuchoTurtle's tweakpane-plugin-file-import plugin. Some of the control's parameter names have been changed for consistency with the <Image> CompositionEvent.

Use the <Image> control instead if you're working with images and want to see a thumbnail preview of the image.

There is currently a known bug where change events' origin values are sometimes incorrect. (This issue is limited to this component.)

Usage outside of a <Pane> component will implicitly wrap the image control in <Pane position="inline">.

Note that Svelte Tweakpane UI embeds a functionally identical fork of the plugin with build optimizations.
