Keyboard Shortcut for "Save a Copy > PNG"

[nrz0]

I'm going nuts here trying to solve what should be an easy problem and I'm stuck.  I want to have a keyboard shortcut (ideally Ctrl+Shift+P) that could automatically run File > Save a Copy > PNG.

I've tried two methods that each get me about 90% of the way there, but ultimately don't work:

1) Create a shortcut for Quick Export as PNG.  This creates a PNG image, but it increases the bit depth from 24 to 32, which makes a larger file size (but same quality since the original is 24).

2) Make an Action with a function key shortcut for File > Save a Copy > PNG.  This creates a PNG image with the correct bit depth, but does not prompt for a file name and overwrites any existing image with the same name, so that won't work either.

Is there a way to do this, or do I just have to enlessly punch through files names to get a PNG every time I save?

Hmmm, there doesn't appear to be any edit button for posts.  I wanted to add I'm using Photoshop 24.2.1 on Windows 10 Pro (version 22H2).

After recording save a copy turn on modal control for Save step. It will display Save a Copy dialogue so you can change filename and of course, saving location.

Awesome! It's not in intuitive for an Actions novice like me, but it works.

Can you help me with two follow-up issues with that method?

1) Is there a way to automatically accept the "PNG Format Options" dialog that appears after naming the file?  It's not a big deal... I can hit enter twice, but it'd be nice if I could automate that as well.

2) Can I assign a shortcut other than a Function key (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+P)?

Thanks for your help!

My answer for both question is no, unfortunatelly, maybe someone else know. Perhaps scripting guys can provide more useful script later when they see this thread.

Ignore second sentence. After typing file name just click Save or press Enter once, thats how things work on my side. No need to add manually extension.
