I think there are too many filetypes on "Save As" dialog. Is it possible to hide some of them?
It's great that XnView can open so much formats, but I don't really need to save into them.

That option only puts chosen formats on top on the Formats list, but the list still includes everything. I'd like to hide some on them.

• Ages ago…
- I met the same annoyance and proposed a box with simple buttons to solve the issue…
- Except a pretty row, nothing resulted of that effort…
- Sorry, too tired now to find the topic, maybe our wonderful Librarian will do ? If so, TIA !

Maybe after the user selected "most often" formats, include a radio button: "show chosen formats on top of the list"/"show only chosen formats".xnview wrote:houps, right...

Re: "Save As" - too many file types


• Actually, my idea was to not use the list at all ! Indeed this needs a special command for “Save As (Common)…” with the most used formats - and I planned too 1…3 customizable “wildcard” buttons for users who would have to save often in a rare format…Maybe after the user selected "most often" formats, include a radio button: "show chosen formats on top of the list"/"show only chosen formats".
- A box of buttons well stuck on the background is always better than an unstable drop-down list showing tiny characters in its ranks.

- What do you think ?
