P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

Agreed. Especially, as I've mentioned before, this is not exclusively a JPG issue. This is happening to me for ANY file extension. If I'm asking to rewrite over an existing file when prompted, it just saves a copy. PDF, PNG, JPG... all of them I use.

While this workaround may work some times, what I ideally would like is for Photoshop to fix the problem since we pay hundreds of dollars for this service!!!

I cannot get it to work when trying to "Save As", it does the same thing where it saves a copy every time. I did find a slight workaround though, if you save it using File > Export. You can save it as a .JPG .PNG . GIF or .SVG. If you go to File > Export > Export Settings, you can set your quick export to your desired file format. That way to do it a little quicker, all you have to do is File > Export > Quick Export As (your file format, for me I selected JPG). now it takes you straight to where you save the file and actually replaces it rather than creating a copy. Hope this can help some of you!

When I go save a file, that is meant to replace an already existing file, even though I hit replace, it makes a copy instead, leaving the original file there with the intended name.

Same issue. Any word?

Same issue here too. I was sure something was wrong. My files organisation had always worked well until that catalina update, with those copy I can't overwrite. They definitely should give us  a discount for paying such an undertested software that we pay overpriced. A solution Adobe? Now!

Oh hell no... Adobe needs to deploy a patch, not a convoluted workaround.

I thought I was going nuts - looking for my file and Bridge was displaying all these damn copies... I'm like wtf Adobe thanks for tossing yet another wrench in there. And I thought missing file extensions was annoying, hah.

Same issue here as well. Very frustrating and time consuming. 

Exact same issue as everyone. Waiting for a solution to this.
