Change file format in save as dialog

when i 'save as' in photoshop cs4 to change a psd to jpeg, the extension does not change.
example: original file- 123.psd, save-as 123.jpeg. instead of adding .jpeg, cs4 adds the word 'copy' in the file name and keeps .psd. if i try to open the file again, ps says it is not a supported format and does this until i manually change the extension to jpg.
any ideas?
thanks
im on a mac pro dual 2.66 running os 10.5.6

Change default format in "save as" file format window

I month ago I asked the following question...
"How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

Hello TomGroup...
I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.

Subject: Change default format in "save as" file
format window
Any updates on this issue?
I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff If I save
as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
try to save No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection. It's
just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
adds up.

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

MAC OSX 10.9.5: What is this strange file format in the Open Dialog box?

Hello all.
I'd never really noticed this, but I saw a rather unusual file format in the Open dialog box and was wondering why it appeared as it did. It appears as follows from the file/open dialog box:
To be completely transparent, I'd originally posted this image on my twitter feed to @illustrator. Since then I have been in communication with Scott but the advice has been to reinstall Illustrator. If this had happened on one machine, I'd be inclined to agree that this may do something, but since discovering this unusual format, i've since seen it on six macs running OS 10.9.5 and illustrator version 18.1.0 OR 18.1.1
Can anyone else confirm that they see the same thing; or if there is a difference, what this format is meant to actually be. I suspect this is a bug but need confirmation by other users.
Colin

The error occurs on all machines I have tested. 5 of the machines have the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but one had no plug-ins at all. All software was installed literally "out of the box" from the creative cloud.
UPDATE - tested 3 more machines in the office all running 18.1.1 on OSX 10.9.5 and they ALL do the same thing, all installed with the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but otherwise installed "out of the box" from creative cloud.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nowhere to type file name in save as dialog, is this normal . . .

Hello;
here's the problem;
I'm having some problems with my main worksation and I'm going to probably rebuild it from scratch
(HDD problem & an AVG Baked registry & network stack)
so I've started by installing AA 2.0 (Full) onto one of my backup systems
& will follow with AA3.0 (Upgrade) if I can verify that the system can do the job for me
here's the problem;
I installed AA2.0 which is needed to get AA3.0(upgrade) to install
but I haven't activated or registered yet because I don't want to waste any activations
if I can't use the system
is it normal for the save as dialog to not have a place to type a file name when AA isn't activated?
System:
HP/Compaq DC7600
P4HT enabled 3.2GHz
2GB DDR2 533MHz RAM
Lots of HDD Space on 5 HDDs
sidebar:
why is my insertion point moved all over the page while I type this in firefox?

thanks for the reply:
don't know if this some sort of a display redraw issue:
but if I just hit enter I get the file saved as untitled.wav (which is floating in the middle of the screen not in the correct location)
and the file ends up in "My Music Folder" (which I never use, but can't change folders either)
-good grief I hate M$ for their My . . . crap folders
the system is using similar Intel-GMA integrated graphics as my main workstation
the only difference is processors and the chipset is one generation back
my main workstation has 965ry and the backup has 945g

File Format Plugin - "Save As" vs "Save"....

I have a format plugin that I would like to have triggered with File->SAVE.
With only one layer in the document, Ctrl-S (Save) *does* call my plugin. So far so good.
BUT if the document has more than one layer, then Ctrl-S pops up a dialog, with .PSD as the default file type. i.e., "Save" behaves like "Save As". Thats not what I want.
Lets say that my own file format plugin can handle multiple layers.
Any ideas on how I can get "Save" to save, without popping up a dialog each time? I looked through the documentation, for a way to specify my custom file format as a multi-layer file format. No luck. Any clues are appreciated.
Thanks.

No option to change file format! PLEASE HELP!!!

When sending any documents from my MacBook Pro to a Window's computer, via email, I can't open the files from a Window's computer. This is when saved as a document usuing Pages, Keynote, Numbers and also any PDF files I have downloaded from the internet. Also when I go to save the file, there is no option for file format? Any ideas? This is driving me crazy and stopping me being able to work!

Essentially, yes. Save keeps the same file type.
Export will allow to change the file type.
Save As allows you to keep the current file unchaged while saving your changes to a new file.
You want Export. That will allow you to change the file type.
I was addressing BobRz in regards to Save As.
My apologies if I confused you.

Can i lock DW CS3 pages so Front Page can add links w/o changing file format?

I am in a situation where i create web pages for other users.
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to create the webpages, in some cases
modify pages created in Front Page. Other users need to put
document links on the pages, they use front page to do this. When
they open the pages in Dreamweaver to insert the link, front page
chages the file automatically and saves it back to the server. Is
there a setting i can use to Lock the format or freeze it so Front
Page does not change formating automatically?
thank you for your help
Dennis

Can you try again to explain what format is being changed?

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

Trying to Save (menu or cmd-s) a file always opens Save As dialog

Hi,
First post (hello forums) - any help would be much appreciated. Please be kind if this is a no-brainer for the gurus out there.
I'm on a Mac G5, OSX 10.4 running CS3 - upgraded from PS7 about 3 weeks ago.
All was humming along nicely until this morning. I opened a file I had been working on (without problem) yesterday, made a few edits, hit cmd-s, and the save As dialog popped up. Okay, no worries -- overwrite, and move on. Made a few more edits, cmd-s, and again the Save As dialog pops up. Cancelled that dialog and tried the save command from the menu -- same thing -- get the Save As dialog. Hmmm... Closed that file, created a fresh one, made some simple edits, and tried to Save -- again the Save As dialog opens.
Not a huge deal - I can always overwrite, but save should just save a working file surely.
I've scoured the interwebs looking for any ideas, but nothing.
Again, any help would be much appreciated.

Hey,
Thanks for the speedy response. Its been .psd's so far, but I haven't tried any other file type. Edits have been anything really -- adding layers to new files, adding layers to existing layered files, adding shapes, adding text to a layer - just about any alteration that would normally 'un-grey' the save option in the menu.
The 'Layers' and the 'Embed Color Profile' boxes are checked in the save As dialog.
Thanx.

Reduce the number of File Formats in Save As list

How do I permanently remove unwanted file formats from the "save as" file format list?

This has been asked before and as far as I know it can't be done.

Deactivate file formats in Save As menu

Hello,
where can I find the adobe program files e.g. for the Targa format (*.tga, ...)?
I want to deactivate/hide these formats from the Save As menu.
Thanks
Carlos

Sorry for my delayed response.
I did not copy any plugins from an older version to CS5.
Once again, it is not possible to deactivate specific file formats as it was possible in former versions?
E.g. I do not need Targa:
My most preferred file format is TIF (for Photoshop files with layers, too). But typing "t" to select the TIF format it selects first Targa. So I have to type "t" a second time -- and yes, I am doing this several times each day and want to hide unneeded formats

File format in pop up dialog box in table control

Hi All,
I am using a popup dialog box on user command click in table control. I have to fix the file format to '.CSV' format only from the selection, how to fix this. The FM is 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4'. Is there any other FM ?

Hi,
To implement general checks in SRM,you can use BADI "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI".But the messages will not come in form of POP UPS.To display messages in the form of Pop up ,you need to implement both the BADI's BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.
For sample code,refer the foll link:
