BRIDGE Exports as JPEG not JPG ... WHY? ?? PHOTOSHOP doesn't.

It would be great if BRIDGE export presets would have an option to choose the file format extention .jpg NOT .jpeg

In BRIDGE when you go to TOOLS > PHOTOSHOP > IMAGE PROCESSOR it saves as .jpg

but if you use BRIDGE, EXPORT > FILE > EXPORT TO it saves as .jpeg, i need it to be .jpg

so, photoshop doesn't export as .jpeg so why does BRIDGE?

It causes a lot of syncing and confsuion prblems due to the .jpg (photoshop image processor). and .jpeg (bridge export to...)

Grrrrr.... Am i missing something here?

Yes, it's an inconsistency and major source of irritation and frustration when working with and in Photoshop.

This is still stupid. I can't believe that a company like Adobe would allow this in the first place. Either always do one or the other or always do both... Its just silly to find out alter that my extensions are messed up. Yes, the batch tool in Bridge is a work around but it is bad practice that a workaround is required for somthing that Adobe can do... the problem is consistency. Please Adobe, fix these little issues.

I have THREE THOUSAND images I'm using Bridge to export to change a file size and append metadata. These images are called up from a number of SQL tables and ASPX pages to render on the website. I'm not changing tables and templates to this JPEG extension.

What a mess!

Come on, Adobe. Please allow JPG extensions.

It is absurd that Bridge forces all exports as JPEG for some unbeknownst reason. When we upload JPEG files to our online photo management system, they get corrupt. The tech support tells us their system only supports JPG extensions. Adobe, can you please change Bridge exports to utilize the JPG extension please? It is beyond my understanding why they'd use an extension which is no longer in use. My Mac OSX literally tells me that JPG is the correct extension and warns me when I try to rename any file into JPEG.

I have had to install a 3rd party batch file renamer. It is, as has been said, indefensible, that Adobe doesn't offer a .jpg option right off the bat in Bridge. Totally ridiculous, really.

It sounds like a small thing. It isn't. It completely nukes our process as we have systems that are setup for the .jpg extension. There is batch renaming in Bridge but if a file allready exists it will create a new one which trashes workflow as now online images are a mess.

Mark1S whcih 3rd party app are you using, does it have the above feature I need i.e. will overwrite what is there?

@jollyroger44 I use one called Bulk Rename Utility. It has a powerful feature set and yes, it does overwrite the jpeg files so you don't need to deal with duplicates. It is also free.
