P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

Just Googled this issue as I thought I was going mad.  Glad its not just me, but really Adobe, its a simple problem that can lead to larger issues with the wrong JPGs floating around.

Adobe, fix this.  There's no stupid little cloud feature that anyone wants more than this major productivity waster.  Your software causes errors in our work.  You might as well be Corel. 

Just updated to Catalina 10.15.3, no change in behavior, so the update did not fix this on Apple's side.

That's too bad. They really need to get this fixed!

Yes, and also I could not change or select.  I think it must be part of the same glitch.  But I wonder why Adobe is taking so long to fix it.  When saving, I now have to find the original and delete it so that PS will save as a jpg. and not a copy...  or save it as a copy, find the original, delete it and then change the name of the copy to the name without copy.  Very frustrating and very time consuming.  

Good work around if you are working with in that same folder, but when jumping from project to project you have to dig back into the exact directory you want the file saved to each time, rather than it going to the directory in which the original file was created. There's gotta be a fix for this 🙂 Your tip will help workaround it for now. Thanks Hila.

Just sent the wrong file to a client. It's my fault, but come on adobe! This should be fixed. Not only is it costing me time but it will most likely cost me a client.

Has any ever noticed or seen this message "File must be saved as a copy with this selection" and the same icon next to layers. But there's nothing you can deselect or change. It seems like it's telling you it will be a copy but doesn't give you an alternative.

Doubt it will do any good what-so-ever, but just adding myself to the growing list of increasingly frustrated users with this issue. I honestly can't think of ONE good excuse for this to not have been corrected IN 3 MONTHS. I'm with Laura, if I could find a decent substitute I would be done. 

Been having the same problem lately (NO it wasn't always like this!!) and it drives me insane!!
