Batch Jobs: sticky settings, or lack of them

[PaulEC]

Yet another of those settings that should really stay as the user wants them, rather than defaulting back to whatever the developers decided!

I want to use a Batch Job to add .jpg versions of a number of .hdr images in several folders. For each batch I have to untick "AFPhoto", tick "JPEG" (sic - although the result is actually .jpg!) and change the quality setting. – Why? – Surely it would make more sense to keep the settings that I have chosen, rather than going back to "AFPhoto" every time I open the Batch dialogue!!!

JPEG is an acronym – the name of the file format.  Whereas *.jpg is a file extension.  Serif are correct here.

However, I agree with the rest.  In addition, it's not possible to export using the users' already defined export presets that they use in [File > Export], which is really odd.

While you are correct about JPEG being an acronym,  *.jpg, *.JPG, *.jpeg, and *.JPEG are all valid file extensions.

Back in the day, Microsoft only had space for three letter file extensions.
