Ability to set the description for nwdirectory in "Browse for Folder" dialog

See original GitHub issue

I am using nwdirectory attribute to an input=“file” field in order to trigger the “Browse for Folder” dialog. However the description on the dialog is misleading, I don’t want to “upload” a folder, but rather choose a folder. It can also give a wrong impression to the user, that you are actually going to upload his, often private, files somewhere.

browsefolder

Could we have an extra attribute nwdirectorydesc that would allow us to set that description? Like so,

<input id="folder-open-dialog" type="file" style="display: none;" nwdirectory nwworkingdir="" nwdirectorydesc="Please select a folder" role="hidden" />

Just fixed this in nw28 branch. Added nwdirectorydesc as proposed and changed the default string to Select Folder. It will be available in the next 0.28.0-rc1 build.
