Hi guys,
I would like to make a request.
(On save and save as menu) A way to edit/customize the format list.
Or a list of the main formats at the top, for example:
Kra
psd
tiff
tga
png
(gif?)
jpg…
Thanks all!

At least not without a change to the software, my gut feeling is that this would not be achievable via a Python plugin, though I could be wrong.
You will probably have to write a feature request for this and hope for a sufficient crowd of supporters and simple implementability to have this feature available soon, but I personally suspect it might take longer, though, also with this assumption, I may be wrong. Unless you can code this change yourself and then submit it as MR.
With a little luck, @halla or @tiar will comment on your question, then you would have a robust statement on feasibility.

Choose All Support Format (should at the top list?), than manually type the file type at the end of file name such as .psd, .png…etc, might be a quick workaround without changing code or making plugin.

You don’t even need to select “All Supported Formats”- the filetype is determined by the extension, so whatever extension you type in will be used regardless of the filetype shown in the “Save as type” box. At least, as far as I am aware.
The box is mainly there to show which filetypes are supported, and filtering the files displayed in the dialog.

All available options should be listed, why do even want to shoot yourself in the foot with this?
I usually choose the format from the list.
In Krita, when I type the format I want, this happens:
save as >> typed: “File1.psd”
Result >> saved file: “File1.psd.kra”
It wouldn’t be a shot in the foot if the formats I use were listed at the top of the list, or if I could customize the list.
The list has another problem. As I import .tif files to work with, .kra is hidden when “saving as”. But it seems there is nothing to do as it depends of the OS more than Krita.
Thanks for the feedback, it makes sense to keep the recurring and most used format at the top. Like .kra .jpg .png .Tiff .psd .ora etc at the top. As @Michelist suggested this can be a feature request. Can you edit the first post so that I can move it to the feature request category?

This happened to me, and that was one of the reasons I wanted to edit the format list.
But just scroll up the list and .Kra is right there at the top.
Another suggestion would be to have sections with file format that support layered information and file format which flatten the file separate. May be this can be like the favourites functionality of the blending mode where users can choose which file format they want to use the most according to their work-flow. I am just throwing ideas I do not know how feasible it is.

Sure, but what should I do?
Change category?
No just edit the post making it a request not a question. And then change category.

Yes, I know but it’s a little boring to loose some seconds to search for it.

Well if speaking of work around you are able to not touch the list and simply write the file basename and add the extension to it and hit enter and it will use the extension you wrote down for the filename instead of what is selected in the list.
Perhaps it’s OS-specific then. Thanks for clarifying and correcting me.

I grazed over that it seems.
Any way of editing the list found yet? If I could edit this I would keep kra and jpg.
This also seems like a good opportunity to point out the following issue:
EXR image (.exr)
OpenEXR (Extended) (.exr)
When you go to save it again, OpenEXR (Extended) is selected by default, and the saves dialogs appear to be identical. I thought extension is all that matters, like when you type .jpg it saves as a jpg.
