How to place a default file name in the file dialog asksaveasfile python
0
I would like to place a value in the file dialog by default when the user is saving a file. Anyone can advise the syntax of it ?
saveFilePath = fileDialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', title="Save the file", defaultextension=".txt")
For example: NewFile should be filled in when the file dialog is open

initialdiris only for the directory. For the file name itself you need to useinitialfile. Also, the OP usedasksaveasfilebut your example usesasksaveasfilenamewhich might be confusing to people who are just starting to learn tkinter.
