Export: choosing the file path and file name

[sylvaincom]

Issue

When exporting a dashboard, it is not possible to choose the file path neither choose the file name.

Expectation

I would like to be able to choose the file path and file name.

Setting the download path is not supported by the web platform.
When #303 will be merged you'll be able to set you desired filename. That will be suffixed .html if not already present.
For now we do not

have custom modals so a standard dialog as been used.

Reports will have a key (#334). I suggest we derive a sane name from the key, and append a nicely formatted timestamp.

@rouk1 when I export something from Notion, the web browser gives me the opportunity to name the file to my taste and choose the location where to save it.

This a settings from your browser. On my machine firefox/chrome saves directly to ~/Downloads.
In firefox this is a settings. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/where-find-and-manage-downloaded-files-firefox#w_change-where-downloads-are-saved
In chrome as well. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95759?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#zippy=%2Cchange-download-locations

As far as I know there is no cross browser way to open a save as dialog. There is a proposal from W3C but it's still a draft.

FOr now we can only rely on the download attribute which is use in the saveBlob function.

Note that a experimental API is here : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showSaveFilePicker

Thanks, it looks promising, though I see it is only implemented in Chrome.

Let's start work on #334 first, and give the exported file a sensible name as suggested here.
