How many times do we have to tell you: This is an English language site, and we can only accept and answer questions in that language.
I have run this through Google Translate to produce a probably-good version, but you should check it and make sure it does say what you are actually asking.

As was mentioned as a comment to a previous incarnation of this question, if you can do it at all, you would have to write a browser extension for Chrome to stand any chance of doing it: Getting started - Chrome Developers[^] is your starting point.

I don't think you're going to get away with having your app launched after the SaveAs dialog.

I think you're going to have to supply your own SaveAs dialog to the the filename, do the save yourself, then proceed with any work you need to do with the file/filename.
