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.

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?

Hi Adobe: This one is so obvious I don't know why it took me 20 years of using Photoshop to think of. In 20 years, I have only saved files in four file types: PSD, TIFF, JPEG and PNG. So, why do I have to scroll through a long list of types when selecting the format I want to save (TARGA, JPEG 2000-- these are outdated formats). You should allow users to toggle or customize the types they want to show in the dropdown menu. This would save me a lot of time and hunting and pecking. Sounds like an EASY change to code.

I love this idea. I think you could have a pop out menu from the Save As option in the File dropdown menu. Here each file option has a star beside it which a user can select as a favorite. Once selected these items appear at the top of the list in their most simplified form - no need to have the full list of document types in brackets. This would make it sooo easy to select the file format we wanted.

I'd like to try it, are you able to share the script with us or link to it?

It does not affect the Save As dialog, when run it will raise a dialog that offers
• entry field to edit the name to save under
• button/hit enter to raise the platform specific Folder selection dialog (by default the active file’s location is selected)
• four options: save a copy as jpg quality 7, save a copy as jpg quality 10, save a copy as flattened tif, save as a layered tif

Chris, can you provide a brief description of what this script will do? Will it reduce the save as options to just 2, jpeg or tiff?

Thanks
