P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

This is my issue thanks Jen

exactly how my conversation went with adobe. The girl claimed that it has always been this way....

Updated to version 21.0 but the jpg overwrite issue still remains. Waiting for a fix.

Same here. Adobe please fix.

Are we going to be compensated by Adobe for these major and time consuming faults in their program?

Same problem here guys!  Photoshop will not overwrite a JPG, it adds "copy" to the filename which is so bad for my workflow.

I called photoshop support and they said it was a known bug, and would be fixed in the next update.  

I hope that's true....

Same problem here! And it just started doing this recently and is a massive time-leech deleting all these original (now unedited/un-updated) files and renaming the new file without "copy" in it. 

I am having the same issue! I am working in Photoshop and wish to save my work as a .jpg -- no problem there. However, when I make changes (to the original layered .psd file) and try to save again as a .jpg --- it adds "copy" to the file name instead of overwriting the existing image. 

I'm "Save as > .jpg" - and then choosing the existing image location. I do get a prompt - "do you wish to overwrite" to which I say "Yes" ---- but still, "copy" is added to the file name and a new file is created, keeping the old file in tact. Annoying that I have to manually update the name, trash the old image, etc!

I too have the exact same problem. I had an online chat with an adobe helper but he didn't seem to have any idea how to fix it. I'm not even sure he fully grasped what the problem was. I am going to get back to them tomorrow afternoon.

Please read what Steven wrote. This is not the same problem. What you describe is the problem I mentioned above, where the file type is not updated. That problem should be fixed in the Photoshop 20.0.7 update that came out last week.
