Is there a way to save a export preset in the "Save for Web" dialog? I use different export options as for Mastering or Previews, it would be awesoem to have the ability to save export options to file. The only thing that I can see is the Export to Web, but the Save Settings is disabled.

Whoops, strike that. It doesn't react to some settings, like e.g. size. It still thinks it's the same preset.

So it's actions then. That has always worked for me.

Save Settings works fine here. Have you actually changed anything from the currently chosen preset? Name it, and it becomes an option in the rolldown.

You can also record actions for each preset. SFW settings are recorded in the action. However, the destination is also recorded, so in that case you need a dedicated export folder.

Not sure about Export As (still using SFW, old habits and so on).

Okay great! Works. Another problem is the action hotkey. It gives me an option to assign an action to F1 through F19 with shift and command modifiers. But Im using a mac keyboard which has brightness, play controls for these buttons. Only F5 and F6 are not assigned for system keyboard commands.  Anyway to use the rest of these bottons?
