Making Preview Default to JPEG

I finally got fed up with the fact that Apple's Preview app saves screen shots as TIFF files. It turns out you can tweak this:

  ~$ defaults write com.apple.Preview Preview \
    -dict-add PVImageScreenCaptureFileFormat "public.jpeg"

Do this while Preview is not running.
