What's Wrong?

When attempting to export a conversation using the Export feature in the Claude Code desktop app, the file picker opens, I select a folder, but nothing happens — no file is saved and no error is shown. This affects both past and current (in-progress) conversations.

Steps to reproduce:

Open any conversation in Claude Code desktop app
Click Export
Select a destination folder in the file picker
Click Save / confirm
Expected: A file is saved to the selected folder

Actual: Nothing happens, no file is created, no error message

Environment:

OS: Windows 11 Home (10.0.26200)
App: Claude Code desktop

What Should Happen?

A file (e.g. .txt or .md) should be saved to the selected folder containing the full conversation transcript, and ideally a confirmation message should appear telling me where it was saved.
