Question

Save for Web dialog does not use Windows file dialog

The Save and Save As dialogs use the Windows file dialogs. The Save for Web dialog does not and instead uses what is by now an ancient dialog. This makes it difficult to know which folder PSE is going to save to and also makes navigation more difficult.

If memory serves, there used to be a Preference allowing the user to chose which File dialog to use. That’s obviously no longer present.

All file dialogs should be the same.

      Some choices are in your pse editor preference file.  You do not have an option in your preference file of where to save.

      I understand. What I believe needs fixing is the next step after clicking Save on the Save for Web dialog, which is this very old Windows dialog that may date back to Windows XP:

       

      The other dialogs, such as Save As, use the modern Windows dialogs:

      The new dialog is easier to use and more efficient in a number of ways.
