In addition, apply this logic to the file type picker. When saving a graphic, show only the most recent -- with JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF and BMP being the defaults. It's wonderful some programs can save in dozens of formats, but how many are really used by the average user?
Also, give the file type picker extended text -- like a description of the file type. I've had novices repeatedly ask me what file type to save images in for the net and then wonder why their BMP files take so long to download.
Sort of like:
.JPEG -- Photographs and pictures for the web.
.PNG -- Icons and an alternative to GIF
.GIF -- Animated icons, banners and web buttons.
.TIFF -- Full fidelity images for pro printing. |
