saveSvgAsPng() produces dataURI in address field and saves file without extension in Safari about savesvgaspng HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for logging this. Is it possible that a.download on line 159 doesn't work in Safari?

Thanks for the response. You might be right. I tried loading the webpage in Chrome and calling the function does download a .png file with the provided filename. Safari does not log any errors though. I guess it just doesn't work and fails silently.

Running in Chrome required running a server locally because I was loading a data file from somewhere else on disk, whereas Safari never complained about that, which was a reason for making this application run in Safari in the first place.

Do you foresee a workaround to make that work in Safari too?

I don't know of any way to download files differently. I'm open to suggestions.

The same seems to happen on windows 10 in chrome.

Is it possible to open the png at least in an new tab?
I've added
a.target = "_blank";
to line 259 but it has no effect.

I don't know any way other than that.

@ctants you can open the png in a new tab using window.open. I'll submit a pull request.
