P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

As much as I hate to contribute to ANY sort of "Workarounds"...
I just happened upon a happy accident to avoid the "Copy" tag.

While in the "Save As" window, right click the file you WANT to replace,
"Move To Trash".

Uh hello Adobe programmers... How about writing THAT into the code???

I created a script that intercepts any attempt to use an Adobe product and launches a competent one instead.

Then it generates and posts a follow-up to this thread using a stone-simple algorithm to berate Adobe in a manner that's not only believable, but factual as well.

I just started using this version of Photoshop with Catalina and have the same issue = extremely annoying. The only thing saving my sanity is that I have a keyboard shortcut  which runs a script to save my tifs (while in my PSD file) in a parent folder where I want them. When I use the script there is not "copy" added, and it overwrites any existing tif with the same name.  

Is this also happening with the next OS Big Sur ?

Where did you read that? Would like to hear their excuse.

I've read Adobe pinning the issue on MacOS, though if this were the case, why can Photoshop overwrite the _copy file? This shouldn't be possible if indeed a permissions issue? Doesn't add up. I believe they are passing the buck. (mine, unfortunately)

@andrew_croft Font Book is defective POS, for sure. And yes, the truckloads of asinine foreign fonts is ridiculous. As usual, Apple makes you opt OUT of a bunch of crap and work hard to clean up your own computer.

But if this has anything to do with permissions, the Adobe apps should be prompting for them. Failing that, they should be raising dialogs to instruct users on how to set them.

There's no excuse.

What are "actions" and "droplets?" You mean macros?

And what's the issue with channels?

Affinity has plenty of issues, so don't think I'm an apologist for their defects. I'm curious as to the specifics. And I hope you've raised your issues with them. They, like Adobe, can have a snotty attitude toward those who criticize their occasionally-brain-dead UI.

"Not the same" how? Why keep working in Photoshop format?

Yes ... that's only because Affinity doesn't do Actions and Droplets. And because their Channels don't work the way I need them to work. But once they do have those "features" the distance for switching will be about 2mm thick, if for no other reason than possibly needing Adobe for other reasons... 

Sorry, I am WRONG. 

App still saves as copy.jpg if images haven't been flattened. 

Sorry to get any hopes up that these ass hats at Adobe have done a minute's work on this.
