Export mix, - too many file options to sift through

When I export a mix, there are way too many file options to choose from - wav, mp3, etc? Is there a way to thin out the options. For me I'd love 3 options - wav, mp3, and wav+mp3. I have my own encoder programmed for mp3 options.
 
Also in the past Sonar remembered my last choice. Whereas if I choose a name that has wav or mp3 as the file extension Sonar chooses WaveX or soundcloud mp3, instead of my choices of wav or mp3. 8.5 remembered my choices. If I have a lot of wav or mp3s to export I have to change back to my choice each time I export.
 
I'd be surprised if there was any fix or workaround for this, but I thought I'd ask. I've been surprised many times in this forum with the knowledge floating around here.

I must admit, it's never been a problem for me personally... I only ever export as 24bit WAV, and Sonar (X2 and previous) has always remembered my last setting. Has that changed in X3 and up?
 
I then use SF10 to normalise and create a 320kbps MP3 file... Simples

You actually only need one option because when exporting to mp3 (using e.g. LAME mp3 encoder) Sonar creates a WAV file first and then converts it to mp3 ... so you'll have both WAV and MP§ automatically...

Choose your settings once and use the save button to save them all as a preset.
 
I have several set up for different scenarios.

yes I've saved different scenarios also, but I saved them in 8.5 as presets and migrated my settings to Platinum. I wonder if I should save a preset in Platinum to help Platinum to remember. In general I very rarely use the presets. I simply export a mix and leave all the settings like "entire mix" etc unchanged. Those settings do stay the same.
 
The setting I'm talking about is the "file type" like mp3, wav, etc. Maybe if I save a preset when I return to that export screen it will keep the file type as I left it. I'll try this.

The list can be customized as of the Cambridge update. Read this topic and look for libsndfile-exclude.txt
You can comment out any formats you never use in that file. Also read the tip.

Thanks Noel, I think this is exactly what I need I'll try it.

The highest quality they allow you to upload would be my guess.

Yes, a preset does remember file type. I just tried it.

I can successfully comment out the formats that are listed in that TXT file, but I tried adding some more names like Soundcloud - mp3, wav, FLAC and I wasn't able to get rid of them from the file type dropdown list. This is a great idea and feature, but it sure would be nice if we could get rid of the remaining 10 file type names. Am I missing something?

It seems that Sonars online help is offline at the moment. Not just the link is dead. Everything takes you to the can't find that page page.

You're right something got messed up with that link. I did and search and found it here;
 
https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=NewFeatures.14.html
 
I also discovered something. In addition to getting rid of some of those obscure formats in the export list, you can get rid of SoundCloud wave, SoundCloud mp3, SoundCloud Flac, and You Tube Publish. These are all in the external encoder. I copied the settings just in case one day I want them again.
 
My export box is nice and lean now and since I did a clean Win7 install, the window is working a lot better now, it's retaining my last file type choice.

The link in Noel's post is working now. I don't think the link was broken. It was that the online help was down at the time we tried to access it.

This is where the link took me
