P: Inconsistent JPEG quality with 1-7 slider in Export As

Is there ever going to be a fix for this Legacy Export bug, BrettN? We last discussed this in June, it's now October, and the newest version of Photoshop (23.5.1) STILL can't export high quality jpegs using Legacy Export.

Or, if you can't fix Legacy Export, PLEASE add a setting to output the exported file to the same directory as the PSD file. That's all I *actually* want, but only Legacy Export provides that.

The location preference settings for Export As and Quick Export are similar but with very different wording and one major variation on behavior.

"Ask where to export each time" and "Export assets to the last location specified" have the same intended functionality with very different wording. There was a bug in Quick Export where on first export of a new file it would lose the information of the last location specified. Fixing this is what is resulting in @coredumperror prefering Legacy mode.

Similarly, "Export files to an assets folder next to the current document" and "Export assets to the location of the current document" are mostly the same setting except that Quick Export puts the files in an Asset folder. This is because the Legacy mode of running this feature is essentially just doing a Generator Image Assets export (which only exports files to an asset folder next to the original project file).

Now that we are moving away from Generator and CEP, we should be able to get this changed since it would no longer be a requirement of the underlying technology. It would also be nice to just match the wording between each set of preferences to help avoid confusion on the matter. 

@coredumperror  For future reference in case you decide to create a feature request..."Regular Export" is Export As and Quick Export is Quick Export.

@_earth_oliver_  Unfortunately that setting isn't what I want. It puts the files in an "assets" folder that's next to the PSD. I want the exported files to be directly in the same folder as the PSD.

For whatever reason, you don't have the option to apply the "Export aseets to the location of the current document" setting if you're using Quick Export. Which is the only form of Export I ever use. That setting ONLY works for "Export As".

@coredumperror You might want to check Prefs>Export...

@BrettNThank you for the detailed writeup! That's very informative, and I hope that the fixes you promised can be brought to production ASAP.

Seeing as how the Legacy Export feature is going to be removed at some point in the future, could you please make it so regular Export can be optionally told to always export to the PSD file's directory? Right now it always rememebrs where you last exported a file, which is very annoying for me. I would be able to stop using Legacy Export entirely if regular Export would just stop remembering the last export folder, and always export next to the PSD file.

>This is something we are aware of and want to get fixed. 

@BrettN Given that settings are totally wrong, shouldn't this have been patched immediately? People's jobs depend on not screwing up their output and if jpgs are being unexpectedly overcompressed, that's extremely troubling.
First we had to deal with the bizarre choice of naming the scale instead of numbering, and now the return to #'s has been totally screwed up? Why are we still dealing with so many bugs 7 years after the introduction of Export As?

@coredumperror  You are right. Forgot its only for these quick saves. However if i recall well, there was an attempt at reducing the quality slider in standard save for web before aswell.

@garashi Me too. 1 is the best quality and 2-7 are all very low.

In my environment, it is a setting of 1-7 for quick export.
For some reason, when I set it to 1, it is exported in high quality. I'm reluctant, but I support this setting.
But I want the compression ratio to be finely tuned from 1-100. I hope to be able to make adjustments with the same user controls as before.
