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

Trying to get a change from a company like Adobe calls to mind the monolith scene from 2001.

I have used Photoshop in one form or another since the 1990s.

How many people use Pixar other than people who work for the company?  Do they still use it?

I supposed with the many options in the Preferences pane that there would be a set of checkboxes for the desired file formats in the "Save As" dialog.  Nope.  Like many I found my way to this thread and up-voted it.

The trouble with creating an action or script for saving in a favorite type is to find a key equivalent that is memorable and available.  So many are taken up by the multitude of Adobe settings.

Of course this is the same company which leaves Acrobat "Pro" (really "Amateur") with OCR ("Text Recognition") as a single-threaded process in a world where most computers come with 8 or more processor cores.  I have installed a Python script (OCRmyPDF) which runs from the command line and is much faster but should not an expensive subscription program like Acrobat make the most of the available hardware capacity?

I've been using Macs since 1985 and most of the flagship software products available for it for most of that time.  Sometimes open source is the only way to go.  At least there a change can be made without being tied up in quite so much red tape as Adobe seems to be mired in.

I mean, they kind of need to update that dialogue anyway for Webp format. Smaller lossy files than jpeg, smaller lossless than PNG, plus transparency support. 

Not asking for much adobe, you already made a fancy custom OPEN dialogue that nobody asked for, now just do that for save except less fancy.

PORTABLE BITMAP!! ?? Does anybody use this?

went through all the comments. no luck. which wastes even MORE time. There's two companies that have gone from great to horrific more than any other, except, I dunno, maybe Enron... in my lifetime: Apple and Adobe. 

wild fact(oid): Photoshop still has IFF in the list. IFF predates Windows 1.0 by almost a year.

the other thing for me is how unreadable the format list is in Win10...
my display is 3500px wide and the save as window is open to a normal width. Everytime i go to Save As, i still have to scan the list a few times to find the format i want.
and i've been using Ps professionally for 25 years!

It's wild, I posted this almost a decade ago.
I'm still using photoshop, and still accidentally picking jpeg2000 sometimes lol.

Keep encouraging votes y'all!
Ideas with fewer votes have gotten implemented.
It's not unrealistic to hope for it.

I think it'd be funny if 50+ year old me, is saying "almost there people! Adobe's bound to listen soon!"

I hope everyone is clicking on the "VOTE" button up the top, otherwise the comment is wasted.

I put it on Facebook on Adobe's page, and I think about three people liked it. Not enough, and of course no reply...

Yes it’s absurd. They can code a whole new photoshop on the iPad but not allow you to customize the save menu like you can customize another menus. Shameful indeed as we need less things to wade through every time we save an image.

Sigh...

I've been living with this for years decades as well. I use PSD, JPG, and PNG -- that's it. But like everyone else, I have to wade through 20+ file formats whenever I do a save-as, which I do frequently. e.g. to change name or file format.

FFS Adobe, just fix this already. If y'all don't want to code a UI fix, fine, then at least let us choose the file formats we want to see via the registry.
