Viewing post in Save specific surface?

Hey, this extension is great. However I am just wondering if the surface can be saved without user dialogue? I mean to save a surface to a file which can be loaded later, without asking user to provide/select the filename? (I am using GM and looking for a solution for HTML5).

If you want to save the surface "somewhere" but not necessarily in a user-accessible location, you could use buffer_get_surface and then buffer_base64_encode to convert it to a string you could save (or, perhaps, buffer_save will also work).

Thanks for your reply. I tried some way, maybe the problem is at my end, but could not get it work.

Surface_save works well on windows.exe (but not with html5), however buffer_get_surface+buffer_save or buffer_get_surface+buffer_base64_encode+file_text_write_string did not work at all.

Anyway, thank you.
