Exporting app data results in empty file but reports successful export #504

Description

@Lauloque

Seems related to the feature introduced in #132

When I use Settings > Export / Import App Data > Export, using either JSON or CSV, and selecting the Downloads directory, the GUI reports a successful export.

And yet the result is a 0B zip file. Effectively nothing. The issue doesn't occur when selecting a different output directory.

I suspect there is either a permission issue, or a security measure preventing writing in the Downloads folder, but regardless, the app should be able to detect something went wrong and report that correctly instead of assuming everything went fine. And ideally, be able to tell to the user what went wrong, maybe even prevent selecting the Download folders if it is a known issue for that app.
