Adding WebP preset to Save For Web?

Hi,

 

Whenever I'm working on a file, 99% of the time I use the Save for Web shortcut [CMD+Option+Shift+S] to export my files.

 

Right now I'm working on preparing some images for a website and I need to export them in the WebP format. 

 

I know that I can export to WebP through the "Save as..." window, but that doesn't let me adjust the scale/dimension and see the output file size, which is a bit annoying because I need to have that control to make sure the file is the right size. 

 

Is there a way to add a WebP preset to the list of presets in the "Save for Web" window?

 

 

Thanks!

It’s »Save for Web (Legacy)« … meaning the feature is not being developped further and might even be removed altogether in the future. 

So there does not seem to be a realistic hope for this request to be implemented. 

 

If there is a limited number of settings you use regularly I would recommend automating those with a Script or Scripts.

"Export As" is the replacement for SFW, so a feature request for that should have better chances. However, after several years, Export is still unfinished, with several long standing bugs, and still missing essential features. All I ask is that they finish it befote adding new stuff...

»replacement« may be a strong term (edit: as you imply with »still unfinished«) or does »Export As« allow exporting animated gifs yet? 

Well, »hope springs eternal« or something like that …
