Saving files

[bellwether-softworks]

I'm in a desktop environment, and reasoned out how my application can load files from disk using the file input element. However, I'm currently struggling to understand how to do the reverse - generate a file in my application, and present a save file dialog.

What is the correct way to do this? It doesn't look like rfd is being reexported from the desktop package, and while I suppose I could just add that dependency to my project it feels like I'm missing a more idiomatic way of presenting a new file dialog. I assume an HTML file download is the right approach, but am unclear as to how best to generate this file (data URL?) and trigger a download.

You don't need to create a data url in dioxus-desktop. Your code runs natively, so you can use any of the std filesystem functions without going through the browser
