in thread Prompt to save file working with excel::writer::xlsx for desktop application

while using excel::write::xlsx, we provide constructor filename with path , and file gets generated in the given path. Let's say I have file name, cgi_dec.xlsx,my requirement is, to get the xlsx object and give user save option with the filename populated, where user can choose the directory to save it, after button clicked, file should get created in the user provided directory. I hope this helps to understand the issue. Thanks.
