Output with specific size

Sorry if this is dumb, searched and can't find the answer. Recent Lightroom exiter so pretty bad with C1 still.

I am trying to export to a jpeg with a specific file size limit (2mb) - how do I make it happen? I can see pixel sizes, quality etc, but not final file size options.

Many thanks - I'll try and keep the daft questions to a minimum and hit google first, but I'm struggling with this basic requirement!

  The storage requirement of the file being created by exporting to a file format that uses compression is set by the image being exported and not solely by the parameters of the file being created. This makes it a bit of a live fish as opposed to the parametric settings of pixel dimensions.
  
  The approximate size of any to-be-created file from the currently-selected Variant is shown at the bottom of the Process Summary Tool. This number is "live" — you can see it change when you move, for example, the Quality Slider on the Basic tab of the Process Recipe Tool when the format is JPEG.
  
  HTH.

  Thanks Kirby for your answer - so I can't just specify I want a jpeg output with a max file size of 2mb for instance? That seems (to a lightroom user) a big oversight, where previously the software did the sorting out for me!
  
  Changing software is a headache, even accepting all the great things C1 does that LR didn't...

  _Afaict_, that is correct: C1P9 provides no control that lets the user directly specify anything about the file size of the files-to-be-created by the exporting of Images*.
  
  (* I don't know what, if anything, the C1P9 developers call the things we see and change in the Browser and the Viewer — do you? Until I find out, I will call them "Images". One of the conceptual hurdles all users face with C1P9 and similar programs is that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the objects being modified and the files on their computers. {It took years to get users to seamlessly process the "file" metaphor.} IME, specifying and rigorously using a term for these objects helps user clear this conceptual hurdle. I call them "Images", and distinguish between _files_ created by a light-recorder (a/k/a "camera"), and _files_ created by C1P9 when Images are exported. {"Export" means "make me shareable image-format _files_ from these selected Images.})
