P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

The Photoshop 21.2.4 update DID NOT fix this issue. Hard to believe this bug is still ongoing. Very annoying.

Almost all my .PSDs are simple images with no layers.  There is nothing to flatten.  Since there is nothing to flatten, the option to do so is greyed out.  If I try to save a PSD as JPEG and rewrite an existing JPEG - it ads "copy" to the end of the file name. Makes no sense...  PS asks, "do you want replace..." Yes, of course.  But no joy...  So frustrating...

I did not pre-flatten my psd as per my usual workflow (the reason I have always done it this way is for speed and no chance of accidently flattening the psd).

But I did create a new brand new psd just to test this out.
I have gone to open a previous psd to test, and you are correct, this has NOT been fixed!

I tried with both a flattened image and unflattened.. Flattened image saved no problem, unflattened saved a copy instead of replace.

I'm on Catalina 10.15.7 and the 21.2.4 did NOT resolve the issue for me.

@Vanessa Fisher Sadly, I can confirm the issue has NOT been resolved. 😞

(My best guess is you may have tested using a flattened file vs. layered file)

Catalina 10.15.6

Photoshop 21.2.4

I updated my Photoshop to 21.2.4. No, it did not fix the issue. Very disappointed.

Yep. Sorry kids, it's still broken. 21.2.4 Mac OS 10.15.6

... and that new "object selection tool" which is just a laugh!

Full on 30 years here. Pretty sure they haven't REALLY cared since Live picture died in the 90's. For them, it's ALLLL about getting new users, and gimping some longstanding workflows just to mollify iPad users.
