P: Export As - File Settings - Quality is not remembering last used setting

Every time I export a new image, the quality goes back to "Good". This is very bad, since sometimes users might end up forgetting to switch it, which ends up in a super low quality image.

This happens during the same Photoshop session, and as well as a new session.

I have tested this with several 10mb images, as well as 500kb images.

Side note: Having a percentage quality option from 0% to 100% is much better than these new options. "Good" is actually pretty "Poor" in my opinion, there's no way an image exported as "Good" should ever be pixelated.

I've asked engineering about both issues (the default setting, and not remembered). Will let you know anything I find out and can share.

Fair enough, although having 40 quality (Good) as the default quality setting is very annoying (and also bad UX in my opinion, who would want pixelated images?). Personally, I would rather have 100 quality (Great) and go down if the file size is too big. Either way, an extra setting to set the default would be great.

Anyway regarding my issue I found a fix, which lets me use the 1-100 quality setting. It can be activated in Preference - Export - Options - Use legacy "Export As".
