External application writing to file inside Chrome extension folders

[Rajesh]

I have an external application running on desktop which needs to write some information in a file within the installed extension folder. However, as soon as this external application does any write activity within the installed extension folder, the extension gets removed or stops working as it assumes that some virus has corrupted it.

Please let me know is there any API or any other way in which I can enable my external application to write some information within the installed extensions folder.

I do not think there is a way. You can serve the file through a local webserver and the extension (or whoever else) can take it from there.
