Choose a file format (like JPEG) after Navigating to the file folder you intend to save a file in, and Staying in that folder

We all agree its annoying now that Save A Copy has its own pull down, rather than just being part of the First Pull down. But what’s worse, For Mac users. if you Navigate to the Folder you are about to save a file to, and then realize you want to change the format, you click Save a copy, and then you are sent back to the original folder forcing you to navigate to your file destination again.

Can we  have original file Save As set up? it wan’t as good as a PC set up but it worked better than this two layer back and forth nonsense. 

 

Additionally, it’d be nice to be able to click on a file while your in Save As, and have that not only be the name of the file you want to save, but ALSO not only take the Extension of the name but also Change the extention of the file… it is beyond me that this has lasted like this for decades. Change the file type too when click on another file that has another format, this is standard practice elsewhere.

 

thanks

I found in Preference the setting I needed “Legacy Save As”

All good now.
