awesome!

I know this isn't yet complete, but I wanted to quickly drop in and suggest using rfd instead of makepad's internal file API. rfd is the de facto crate for this kind of thing, and I plan to shortly create a robius crate that wraps rfd, so we'll end up with a similar API.

Plus, with rfd you'd get immediate support for all 3 desktop platforms.

Kindly refer to this implementation of the rfd. https://github.com/Vjze/YY_DPS/blob/edb15ffc85b646c27547081b30a0e6f0d8ba688b/src/export/export_view.rs#L158 This requires the tokio runtime in a field in export screen

Ok, what's the issue with that? Is that problematic? Apologies, but I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make.

Moly has used rfd in their app, works fine AFAIK.

Thanks for referring me to Moly. File Dialog does not work well in asynchronously in macOS as file dialog is only allowing in main thread.
