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

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. 

To anyone else who is frustrated by this: Don't hestitate to continue complaining. Very often, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. 

Certainly one should add one’s »Me too«, add a post from time to time, ...
And if a reported, legitimate bug goes unfixed for more than two full versions that is one thing, but a Feature Request not being implemented is quite another. 
So if someone goes calling the failure of a Feature Request to be implemented »ridiculous« they would seem to be implying that Adobe or the Photoshop team transgressed with regard to propriety or obligation or reasonability or ... and that seems unreasonable to me. 

The above post does not seem to be useful.

Everyone understands that Adobe is under no obligation. But if they provide an open forum for people to push for feature requests, then people will push for feature requests.

You may not like their wording or tone, but telling someone their input isn't useful goes directly against the purpose the forum.

Adobe asked us what we think about proposed feature, and TangCanada is letting them know.

>While you may call that last one nit-picking, if one does not respect the meaning of words and the use of proper terminology in written communication then what is one even trying to do?

To communicate.

Which obviously the user did successfully since you easily understood what they were trying to say. You're correct that you're nitpicking. Usually it isn't worth it to try to score a cheap internet debate point like that.
