Hi there,

I was a drawing app that runs off of the desktop (not in a web browser). I want to have a button that saves a jpg of the drawing board to the desktop. I found a way to save it locally, But it pops up a dialog box that you have to click…

Is there a way to save it without having the dialog box show up? Just automatically save it to the computer.

Thanks!
