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.

Man, Chris' job must suck. Having to find new end increasingly complicated ways to convince people Adobe is actually doing a great job and nobody really wants better, easier to use products with new features, which are stupid and hard to do anyway.

You are reading something into the responses that is not there.

Yes, there is interest in change - which is why the popular requests have hundreds of people voting for them. And there are hundreds of requests with more votes than this one.

Look at the topic - not that many posts, and 10 people voting on it (one of which is me). That's compared to some of the suggestions that have hundreds of people voting for them.
This topic is the petition.

I said I "didn't see and official comment" not that you "didn't respond". And I still don't, and I don't have time to scroll through this thread again. Thanks for the (defensive) reply.

I work with hundreds of other designers and teach design to hundreds of aspiring professionals, and most I have talked to thought this was a great idea. Most younger students have no idea what a Targa or JPEG2000 file is.

The comments your eceive (and their quantities) are not reflective of the community as a whole-- there is certainly an interest for this change to the program. You are missing this point: this is a clear improvement over the current application-- I would think you and your dev team would be more than happy to improve your product and continue to make it better.

Your attitude is similar to the response I have received in all my other posts with open-minded suggestions on how to improve Adobe products: smug and defensive.

Chris,
I am surprised by the comment" only a few people supporting it"
Everyone I know is of the same opinion, and are glad someone(Philip, e.g.) has brought this up. If you have a way for us to sign a petition,if that's what you need, I'd be happy to circulate it.

I have responded, so you can't say we haven't.

But it's a feature request with only a few people supporting it.
We have thousands of requests, many of which have much more support behind them.
And no, this is not a simple coding change at all.

Hey Chris-- I did "read the comments again"-- I didn't see an official reply from Adobe. Is this something you can change in your products-- it seems like an easy coding change (some people have already hacked it) and would improve your products. I really get the feeling that since 1) we have no alternative product choices and 2) you have forced us into a subscription model that Adobe has little incentive to improve. That's the same mistake Microsoft made back in the day.

Alright, I'll amend the comment to say that this topic is over 5 years old, the only reply from Adobe was a year ago and failed to say whether any consideration would be given to the request

Anyone realised this topic is over 5 years old and Adobe have not done us the courtesy of a reply?
