As you can see the Console of 3D slicer has shown that the dicom has been exported to the specific path, but the folder was empty.Why?

The python console message only says that it is going to export the file, nothing about success.  
Can you plesae check the log for errors? There is an error window where you can filter for errors, and the full log is at About/Report a problem
