Create Shortcut to "Save As" a Specific File Format?

HI

Trying to streamline some work flow issues and would love to be able to "Save As" without having to navigate through file formats , say, .png - every time.

Is there a way to open the file browser in PS to a specific file format each time?

That would be great.


Thanks

You can create an action to save any file format into a png to specific folder.

But I couldn't find a way to create an action to open a specific file type from a specific folder. I can create an open action but it will always open the same file by which I created the open action.

Even if I deleted the file from the specific folder, the action will merely open the folder.... you still have to end up browsing.

One out of two..... let's see if someone else has a way....

You could use a script, and create a shortcut to the script.
IE:
Code:
#target Photoshop
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
File.saveDialog('Save as PNG file','PNG:*.png');
}

Just record action with that save as with type you need. Then press Stop recording and then click on Toggle dialog on/off...so it is on. Thats it.

About second one i don't know.
