According to the chrome security guidelines, you can't use filereader on local files while using chrome with the file accessed via the file:// protocol. This causes the plugin to fail silently.

Steps to Repro:

  1. Open up demo.htm on chrome by using file->open. (or by dropping it into the window)
  2. Drag and drop from your desktop.

Expected:
Normal behaviour. File is dropped/etc.

Actual:
Fails silently.
