P: File name and extension highlight when saving on macOS 10.15 Catalina

Don't forget the copy and paste not working

Just wanted to throw in another vote asking to have both the full-filename-selected issue, plus the double-replace-confirmation-dialog issue mentioned just above. Hoping it's true that the more people report an issue, the more likely it'll be addressed.

Coming here from the AE world, with just the search term: 'save mac dialog box selection catalina name'.. Thx for making this an issue. I hope Adobe can fix this issue, but something definitely changed with Cataline like Ted Martini mentioned.

Truly maddening, this issue. Really hoping for a patch soon. 

This new "replace file" confirmation dialogue box has been bothering me more than the file extension highlighting.  I've been thinking about this for months, and I'm convinced that the source of the problem is actually with Mac OS X Catalina, not Photoshop.  I've found the "same replace file" confirmation box and file-extension-highlighting issue on several other programs, which was never the case before the Catalina update.  

There were a lot of security-related updates implemented with Catalina.  A lot of us have probably noticed new warning dialogue boxes when opening programs for the first time after Catalina.  (I used Adobe Lightroom for my screenshots because I know I haven't opened it since the update).  Another warning dialogue that I didn't manage to get a screenshot of, is when using the eyedropper tool for the first time.    The box says something like "Adobe Photoshop would like to record your screen".



Anyways, I think all these strange new securities are related to the file extension being highlighted.  I have no idea why or how, and I have no further proof, but I'm going to redirect my frustration at Apple instead of Adobe, and I think you guys should do the same!

(I have many other gripes about Catalina– I was the first person at my company to do the update and I've been warning against it ever since.)

Photoshop dev please FIX this! It's so annoying and unproductive! I'm struggling with the same issues as everyone on this thread. It's the only thing that keeps me from updating to Catalina and without this update my laptop is restarting every day on its own.

Gee, I thought I was alone with this. So many unnecessary changes, no quality control. And for over $600 a year.

When 'Save for Web' dialog appears, the whole filename (including the extension) is selected, and if the name is changed, Photoshop does not add .jpg (or selected file format extension) to the file.

Also, if the file exists, Save for Web asks to replace the file twice. Once a system dialog, and second time an app dialog.

Lastly, I use to be able to type a new file while waiting for the 'Save Optimized As' dialog, now I get the system alert sounds when I try to type anything before the dialog is displayed (which delays my workflow.)

Since the OS Catalina update, in Save for Web, when renaming the file the extension no longer gets attached to the file name. This is necessary to open the file in another program or to upload to Wordpress. Now it requires me several extra clicks to include it. 

This Forum is the official Channel for Photoshop Bug Reports and Feature Requests – it is being monitored. 

That is no guarantee that an Adobe employee will chime in or that reported bugs will be fixed in a specific timeframe. 
Some bugs may actually never be fixed especially if they don’t affect a lot of users a lot of the time ... resources are limited even for a team like the one working on Photoshop.
