P: Ability to arrange & customize save-as file formats so popular formats are at the top

Photoshop supports about 20 formats, but I only use 4 or 5 of them. It's bugged me since 5.5 to have to fish for jpeg somewhere in the middle of the list. Can the file formats get arranged by most commonly used? And maybe allow us to remove stuff like targa and large file format that nobody uses.

We know there are workarounds for this, but fact is not every user is techy enough to set up actions and scripts. It would make workflows a lot quicker to be able to just save favourites to the list. So many formats on there which are hardly used anymore.

The scripters on this forum are volunteers who do not work for Adobe. You might ask them how long it takes (subtracting the amount of time they spent learning how to write script.)

I used to use Configurator 4 which was easy and intuitive and worked. I would buy Tom's app if I could afford it. I shouldn't have to learn how to use scripts - this should be included by PS. It would take one of their coders ten minutes.

You can use the decades-old automation features (Scripts, Actions) to streamline the exporting.

They are too busy working on incorporating AI so users can make every photograph look fake, or even worse real. Soon we won't have to take photos with cameras or phones anymore - we'll just sit at a computer and ask Photoshop to 'create' an image with our specifications. All I want to do is slightly enhance my photos because of sensor limitations, and save in just a couple of favourite formats.

Imagine being so lazy as an industry leader that 14 years after the fact, you're still torturing each and every single Photoshop user with this all the time.

If you create custom Actions (that are useful beyond specific images) make sure to save the atn-file and back it up.

For 20 years I have been choosing psd, jpeg or gif.  Nothing else... and I have to wade through a bunch of other file types.  Could we please customize our file type list.  Cheers.

Workaround is to record separate actions for each file type. Turn modal on to see dialogue and assign keyboard shortcut to each action.
