I'm using WebKitBlobBuilder in chrome to generate a text file in user side.

Now, i need to show a save as dialog, let user decide which folder to put the newly generated file.(In chrome)

"Save As Dialog", no browser configurations.

How? Thanks!

  • This title is misleading. You should revise. – coreyward Jan 14 '12 at 17:34

    I'm not sure this is possible since Chrome has an option in the Preferences pane to `Ask where to save each file before downloading` which someone could simply uncheck...

  • You cann't specify a filename with Data URI :( – iuwei Jan 15 '12 at 01:35
  • You can trigger a click on a link that has a download attribute. Example: `` – Kelly Cook Oct 30 '17 at 17:09

Check the Settings --> Show Advanced Settings --> Downloads section. Tick the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option. And try!

    He mentioned that he needs a solution without changing the browser settings, since it is for the users and not for him personally. – fancy May 16 '13 at 09:25
