    Saving as JPG - CS5 defaults to PSD, even when flattened

      I'm frustrated by this issue and cannot find a solution, I apologize if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find it.

       

      When I go to save an image the "file format" drop down box defaults to PSD every time, rather than the original format of the image. This happens even when the image is flattened and regardless of bit depth.  It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to simply drop down the box & select "JPG" but when you're working hundreds of images it becomes time consuming. Sometimes when I change the format it tells me that I must save it as a copy & automatically adds "copy" to the file name.  I have specific file naming so I have to manually delete this in order to save over the original file.

       

      This is a fairly recent (year or so) issue because I used to be able to use my programmable keyboard to do this and it made things SO fast! Now I'm forced to use the regular keyboard/mouse and it's slowing down my workflow.


      Thanks in advance!
