Assign filetype when adding assets to a Library

SCENARIO: When dragging selected artwork from an Illustrator file to a Library, the asset uploads as a bloated Ai file. (Same when uploading a layer from Photoshop)

REQUEST: Would LOVE to be able to designate the file type when adding an asset. For example, a vector icon in Illustrator as an SVG file, or a raster image in Photoshop as a JPG.

CURRENT WORKAROUND: Export the artwork as an SVG or JPG file, then drag from the desktop/finder onto the application and into an open Library panel.

My 10 cents to this Idea,

I spent half a day to find how to force the "graphic" to be in SVG instead of an Ai...when imported in CC lib
When used in 3rd party (like PowerPoint) you need the file in SVG to import it in vector...
I guess that setting a preference or a dialog could save a lot of time.

Yes! That would save me so much time.
