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

I don't understand why Adobe needs thousands of requests to implement the requested change. I work with 50 Photoshop professionals in my dept. ALL OF US want a simplified Save dialog. Most of them don't dig in to request the change.
This seems a no brainer. The cumulative time wasted in this dialog is enormous.
It doesn't mean you have to throw out the old file types – who knows, I might use DCS sometime, and I do have some 24 year old Scitex files, but I don't think I will ever print to an Iris again.
So file types I need regularly:
PSB PSD PNG JPG TIFF
Need sometimes:
GIF RAW
As for the others, I would like a drop down option to select them.
I originally asked this of Adobe 22 years ago for 5 years in a row at MacWorld.

I would like the ability to save image formats I use (or hide the image formats I never use) in Preferences, so when I save a file I am only presented the formats I want. I often save a layered file as a .psd, and then a flattened .tif. They are the top and bottom options and it would certainly speed things up (and make mistakes rare) if the file formats were condensed to just the ones I want.

I find it almost funny that this suggestion was posted over 8 years ago and still I occasionally save as Pixar or Scitex. Please allow us to sort this list!

Too busy breaking the Transform Tool.

It’s not broken and the old non-proportional default transformation behaviour can be restored so what is your statement supposed to achieve? 

I just want to add my support for this feature.  Which I can't believe has been running for 8 years now.

Like 99% of Photoshop users I use 2-3 formats on a given day.  I don't need a list of 22 different formats.  And I hate that my most used formats are in the middle of the list.  So many other programs have addressed this issue.  But Adobe can't somehow.

Um, yes the "Free Transformation" was fujcked up.  I might agree that it's a minor change to make the default behavior proportional scale, except they didn't do that.  They made it default for everything EXCEPT vector shapes.  So now you have to switch back and forth between two modes of scaling, the old way and the new way if you're scaling text or smart objects or raster objects or vector shapes. 

And if I have to write a script change in a Notepad file, they fucjked things up.

Everyone I know in the business hates this change.  There's dozens of articles complaining about it and telling you how to change it.  I can't imagine anyone hating the ability to favorite file formats, which we've been asking to have for 8 years.

Also no one calls it >>Free Transformation<<, everyone calls it the transform tool.

TangCanada, were you able to follow the clear instructions and thus render your complaint about what you called »free transform tool« moot? (edited)

"In an even less perfect world, I'd have 3 separate keyboard shortcuts to save files, one for each of the 3 formats. I'm not sure if that can be recorded as a photoshop action... I don't think it prompts me for a save location, and I'm not sure if it can prompt me to tweak those other dialogues like the JPEG quality slider.” 

As we live in a less than perfect world, the pragmatic approach would indeed to have been to create an action to work around the issue while waiting/hoping for such a feature request to be realised. All of this is possible.

It would be nice if end users did not have to resort to creating actions or scripts to achieve what they believe should be a built in feature – however it is great that we can do this rather than be stuck with nothing.

Again:
Photoshop’s Free Transformation does not seem to have been » fucjked up«; the default behaviour was changed (apparently in reaction to a longstanding Feature Request) but you should be able to restore the old behaviour.
