Option to Disable "Jpeg Options" Pop Up After Saving

[lv shutter]

After I close/save a Jpeg, Photoshop displays a pop up labeled "Jpeg Options". I save the same way for all of my photos so it would be nice to be able to set a default, disable this pop up asking the same thing everytime, and and not have to click "OK" on 1000's of photos.

Completely agree, 100%. It would be so nice to just have an option to set your preferred JPG options and never have to touch them again unless desired.

This is possible using a script. I'll post some code later as I just knocked up such a script the other day in a different topic.

Here is the script, let me know if there are any problems or issues. Use at your own risk.

This is awesome, Stephen. Thanks for putting it together. I'll let you know how it goes!

@defaultb0i85kbn1psp – so, how did the script go?

Hi, I downloaded the script and tried it out but I think I am missing something. Like in the original question I would love a script that automatically saves to the same location at max quality without having to confirm via the jpeg options popup. I have installed this script and in the script manager chose the Save Document trigger but I see that the script still opens the photoshop jpeg options popup and then once I close that it opens a further custom save as popup. Have I done something wrong or is that the correct functionality?

For max quality change:

jpgSaveOptions.quality = 10;

to:

jpgSaveOptions.quality = 12;

However, the script was written with a different intent than what you require and wasn't intended for use with the Script Events Manager, I'll post new code...

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

The following script silently overwrites an existing JPG file without offering the format options dialog box.

It is easy to enable the option to confirm overwriting the file if needed, without changing the file options.

Don't use with non-JPG files as it will flatten/convert to 8bpc/remove alphas to force the file to meet the file format requirements without saving as a copy. Use at your own risk. Not intended for use with the Script Events Manager. Once installed, a custom keyboard shortcut can be applied.

1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor)
3. Paste the code in
4. Save as a plain text format file – .txt
5. Rename the saved file extension from .txt to .jsx
6. Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below)

Thank you Stephen! Your time and kindness providing this solution is immensley appreciated 🙂

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

@julesbower 

You're welcome, feedback is always appreciated and welcome, this is just my take, you may wish for additions or removal of certain features.

[TRAVELARIUM]

A small change to make the script work with both JPEG and JPG extensions at the same time.

Need to change:

if (/\.jpg$/i.test(activeDocument.name) === true) {

 to:

if (/\.jpe?g$/i.test(activeDocument.name) === true) {

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

@TRAVELARIUM 

With your suggested change to my code, files saved with a non-standard four-character .JPEG extension will now be saved with .JPG... So now there will be two files, with the new file having a three-character extension and the original four-character extension unchanged!

This could be coded around, but the whole point was to bring to the user's attention that the file used JPEG rather than JPG, which is a real issue. My coding wasn't intended to be circumvented, so I can't agree with your suggested modification.
