    Reduce options for "Save as type"

    I only ever save PNG or JPG files and I often alternate between them. The multitude of "Save as type" options is annoying, particularly since pressing J gives me JP2 and P gives me PCX. Can I reduce the options list to just PNG and JPG?

    Hi StefanPochmann,

    I believe there is no way to do this. And you cannot just type a dot and and the extension jpg or png : for example if tiff is selected in the type drop-down list, the image will be saved as image.jpg.tif

      Save as type is a stored setting in IrfanView, so if you use the same one consistently it will always be pre-selected for you. It is controlled by SaveIndex in section Others. If SaveIndex=8 it will be JPG and if it is 17 it will be PNG. So, if you want, you could have two IrfanView installations, one for saving as JPG, and one for saving as PNG. Simply open the one you need depending on the task.

        After reading this thread I got an inspiration!
        Why not improve available options and add a new option?

        See: "Use only associated types in 'Save as...' dialog"
