P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

This started happening to me yesterday. I noticed the some of the JPEGs I was working on had unusually large file sizes, so to purge unwanted data I used EXPORT > SAVE FOR WEB > JPEG (rather than just SAVE AS). This fixed the file size issue but seems to have caused this 'copy' bug. It was working fine before that.
I'm running MAC OS 10.15.3 and Photoshop 21.0.0

Why is this "by design" for Apple users only? It's never worked this way prior to this release, contradicts what their save dialog says, and is just plain stupid.

I've done the same. CC 2020 is useless.

ROFL

This is dumb. I'm going to start contact Adobe on a daily basis until someone competent can actually explain why this is happening. Just got this email back today:

Hi,

As discussed, the feature which you had trouble with is by design for the mac's.Unfortunately we do not have any written document for the same.

I also understand that it must be really frustrating when things don't work the way you want.

One simple method is to duplicate the document first by using Image > Duplicate. So when you then save it as a jpeg, you can just close the jpeg document window after it has finished saving, and the original layered file will still be open.
Don't forget to save your original document as a PSD if you want to work on it in future. Jpegs can't contain layers, and you can't recover the layers from a jpeg.

Let me know if you have any questions.

If this is by design, then it's still broken because the application is not doing what it tells me it is going to do. (And if this is Mac only, can we get this "feature" added to Windows so we can annoy the other half of the community?)

I'm with you all. Not overwriting the existing file when I tell it to, then saving another file with "copy" appended is ridiculous. I was already annoyed by how cumbersome it was to save a file without "copy" being appended, but at least it would show in the Save As dialog box before actually saving. Now it doesn't even show you, it just does it. Adobe needs to stop catering to first-time users with these types of "fool-proofing" features and take better care of long-time, professional users. We're not idiots. And they're wasting our valuable time.

LOL. A+ for creativity!

yeah, I thought of that one too, but man, I HATE seeing a copy at the end of a file name, it looks like an accident or it was unintentional.

Creative workaround there, Philip. Too funny.

If you need a Super Dumb!TM hack, I've just started naming every single file with a " copy" at the end of it and photoshop overwrites things just the way I expected it to.
It's absolute garbage, but since the client will never see these files I'm in the clear.
