I am aware of one possible workaround ( save SVG and export PDF via command line), but we are looking for a solution within the GUI that allows to narrow down the visible formats to only these two: Picking/clicking the desired format from the 25 items in the drop-down list is a somewhat tedious and error-prone proposition (what with the notoriously laggy GUI on Mac and the drop-down menus disappearing when not being clicked). With every edit or later revision of an image, there is a good amount of back and forth between formats. We consistently need these two formats, and only ever these two. pdf (for embedding in LaTeX) – all within Inkscape's GUI, via the 'File > Save as' function.

I use Inkscape (1.1.1) pretty frequently at work.

I'm interested in a method for MacOS (11 Big Sur), but other solutions might be useful to others for reference. Is there a setting (or hidden preference) to tell Inkscape's to show only a couple specific file formats in the 'Save as'/'Export' menu (out of the 20+ choices available) and ignore the rest?

Inkscape font size bigger than 144
