It’s in the Save For Web applet. When you use Save For Web, on the right side is a little triangle. Click that and a menu appears. Then click on Edit Output Settings…

Yes, but the problem is that Photoshop does not remember this setting when you exit the application.

This is especially ennoying when you want to make a droplet which must process hundreds of images with long names and save them with "save for web". I couldn’t find any workaround. Changing the settings as you suggest does not seem to be recorded in the action, so the droplet does not take that into account.

In fact this is very frustrating since the only reason why I am using "save for web" is because the regular "save as" (for JPEG files) seems to save at least 2K of metadata and does not allow any option to not save them. When saving small icon-size JPEG images that are about 2K in size, this doubles the size of each file.

So is there a way to create a droplet that will "save for web" without truncating file names ?

Per the instructions in the link I posted above I replaced (updated) the file SFW uses by default: \Presets\Optimized output settings\Default Settings.iros

To update this file:
* From the Save for Web menu (click triangle below/right of Done button) chose Edit Output Settings…
* Chose Saving Files from the dropdown menu
* Uncheck the Mac and Unix options
* Click Save
* In the Save Output Settings dialog, click on file Default Settings.iros to select it * Click Save (confirm replacement)

Done deal.

OT (kinda) question: When one engages SFW from Photoshop, is this the "same" module SFW ImaageReady uses?
