Same issue here. Outrageous behavior by Adobe. It's been over 3 months... They just don't care about their customers. Pity. This used to be a reliable Software Maker.

@hilaschurr a good workaround if you need web file format, but not useful for Tiff, which we rely on for InDesign imports.

@mikevago read the comment right above yours - it has a workaround!

Just checking to see if anyone's got a better workaround. I only just switched to 2020. In fact, I held on to CS5 as long as possible, because I actually owned CS5 and didn't have the money-grubbing scumbags at Adobe reaching into moy pocket every month. But Catalina doesn't support CS5, so I had to grudgingly upgrade, and so far 2020 is *maddening*.

Every single time I have to overwrite a file (which I do a few dozens times a day), I deliberately tell Photoshop to overwrite, it tells me it's overwriting, but instead it creates a second file with "copy" in the name. So I have to manually delete the original and then rename the new file. A few dozen times a day. And I'm paying them every month for the rest of my life for the privilege! I'm about ready to find Adobe's headquarters and burn it to the ground.

This has completely screwed our workflow and has cost us thousands of dollars. How has this still not been resolved?

Yeah, it didn't do it ONE time, so I got overly excited. I hate you Photoshop. I really hate you Adobe. If I could find a good substitute for Lightroom, Illustrator, and InDesign, I'd kick you to the curb.

Yep, it started adding  copy to the file name again. I hate you Adobe. I hate you so much.
