+### Save-file picker
+
+For an *export* button, use `setSaveFilePicker()` instead. The host shows a
+native save dialog (the user types a name and picks a location) and delivers the
+chosen path through the same `onFileSelected()` handler — distinguish the button
+by its `objectName`. The optional `default_suffix` is appended when the typed
+name carries no extension.
+
+```cpp
+// In widget_data():
+wd.setSaveFilePicker("export_btn", "Export...", "*.json", "Export Library", "json");
+
+// Same handler as the file picker, routed by name:
+bool onFileSelected(std::string_view name, std::string_view path) override {
+  if (name == "export_btn") {
+    writeLibraryTo(path);
+    return true;
+  }
+  return false;
+}
+```
