Is there a way to have my app/game save a file to desktop? Like with a windows file picker?

I'm making a level generator and it exports all the necessary data to a text box. Now I would like to have a "save as" feature that would just download/save its content without sending it to an external script with ajax etc. Possible?

You have to use the File Chooser feature and ask the user to save it. Anything else is a security violation.

You need to use NW.js in order to be able to specify a storage location other than webstorage - this of course won't work for HTML5 or mobile device compiles.

If you need help let me know, I've worked with NW.js a bit and can probably make an example.
