Edit the format list in Export options

I only ever export files in 4 different file formats. Is there a way to reduce the format selection from the option window to just those?

In R5 Windows years ago I edited a file on my computer that achieved this and hoping to be able to do the same on the Mac.

I suppose in Preferences > Plugins, you could disable the plug-ins for exporting the file formats you never use.

This works to truncate the list, but in V8 only - and I do not know about Mac - but not in V7, at least on Windows.

@John_Brock Was trying that as @pascal was typing. Changed and restart and like Pascal said it does not work. Still have 43 options.

I can set up an alias for Export but is it possible to add the file format or do I need to look at a python script for that?

Until I go to R8 on the Mac I have modified a script from a post by Mitch @Helvetosaur from 2019 and via an alias it is doing what I want. 4 different alias but easy to remember and much faster than scrolling through those options for me.

Gotta love these forums and the info here. Thanks for the help, got me to where I needed to be.
