I wanted to change v-file-input icon and place the icon behind. So I used "append-outer-icon" to change icon and place, but If I click the icon nothing happen. I waned to click the "append-outer-icon" and open folder like click the prepend-icon. My sample code is below.

<template>
<v-file-input
                prepend-icon=""
                append-outer-icon="mdi-folder-open"
              ></v-file-input>
</template>

Could anyone advise me?

You could do this with pure CSS. Use prepend-icon only, along with:

.v-file-input {
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
}

Demo:

new Vue({
  vuetify: new Vuetify(),
  el: "#app"
})
.v-file-input {
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
<div id="app">
  <br /><br />
  <v-app id="inspire">
    <v-file-input prepend-icon="mdi-folder-open"
             ></v-file-input>
  </v-app>
</div>

Add a ref to the file input and trigger it using click:append-outer :

<v-file-input
                prepend-icon=""
                append-outer-icon="mdi-folder-open"
               ref="file"
              @click:append-outer="this.$refs.file.$el.querySelector('input').click()"
              ></v-file-input>


var app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  vuetify: new Vuetify(),
methods:{
  open(){
 this.$refs.file.$el.querySelector('input').click()

 
  }
}
})
#app{
width:200px;
padding:16px
}
