Maybe it is just that I overuse the internet, but if you have simple needs web interfaces are actually really good. most of them are broken, but to navigate a media list (photos, movies, albums, pdfs etc. (maybe not text file)) the most comfortable interfaces are often web.

> removed on a whim

They changed the whole concept of having one single root. As I understand the plan is to use many fragmented and independent filesystem handles that can optionally mounted together.

So the restriction is more about non being able to access a folder if you don't have access to an appropriate handle.

Paths like folder1/folder2/../folder2/file are still perfectly fine.

you can define a root filesystem and mount everything you want to access there. the restriction is that your program (or a compatibility layer) should always keep an handle on the root filesystem.

> unless knowing an absolute path was enough to allow you to access it

If understand correctly in fuchsia "absolute path" is always relative to a filesystem handle so knowing it and being able to use it are pretty similar

> Pure functions don't work with I/O.

there is a comment above that argue this point in better details.

Basically it depends on the many nuances you have on "pure", "functions" and "idempotent"
