P: Save for web, unable to paste file name

This issue was originally posted months ago, but nothing has happened. My post was moved into a 5 year old issue and forgotten all about, so I'm gonna keep posting a new one every few weeks until it has been fixed. 


CMD+V does not work in the naming input field in Save for Web / Save Optimized As dialogue box. In order to paste a name I now have to manually select the standard file name using the cursor, being careful not to select the file extension, right click and select Paste. Only then does it work. When you're resizing and saving hundreds of files this way it takes A LOT of extra time.

    We know it's an issue with Photoshop in MacOS Catalina, but we won't bother fixing it unless heaps of people make a fuss.

    Poor form. Fix your buggy software.

    Same issue for me, been happening a while now, glad to hear it's not something I've done, frustrating having to select the file name too minus the extension which become an issue at the same time

    I am experiencing this issue since I upgraded to Catalina and Photoshop 2020. Is it worth reverting to an earlier version of Photoshop?

    Same problem here - I have to do the Save For Web for a large number of images 50-100. The muscle memory of the shortcuts meant that I was able to tackle these in a reasonable time up until I've noticed this is a problem. Please look to fix it.

    I'm having this problem in mid 2020 in the latest versions of Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC on a brand new, up-to-date Macbook Pro running macOS Catalina.

    Same problem here. Every day I Save for Web dozens of photos, and have to manually type all those stupid filenames, hoping for no typos.

    Hi David, 

    Just touching base regarding this issue. It's still a problem, every single day. Every other day is another update, but still no fix for this incredibly infuriating and seemingly simple issue. Someone really needs to escalate this issue so it's included in the next round of bugfixes.
