Question

Files saved for web have the temporary attribute (Ps beta)

I'm using Photoshop Beta 25.0 on Windows. When I export an image for web I usually do this by using the "web sharpen" feature of Tony Kuypers TK9 panel. No issues in the latest non-beta version. Was the plugin does is basically a bit of resizing and sharpening and then savin as jpeg.

When I use this feature in the latest Beta 25.0 the exported jpeg seems to be always saved with two file system attributes A and T. The "T" attribute means "temporary" and makes problems. Because of the "temporary" attribute my NAS drive sync client ignores the file because it doesn't sync temporary files. This breaks my export workflow.

This didn't ever happen in the past productive versions so I think it might be a problem with the beta.

Anyone tried 25.4 yet? I can't believe this is still happening/ not hearing much more about it lately. So stupid!

Version 25.4.0. Opened an image, inserted AI generated content, flattened image and saved. File attributes are 'A'.

It seems to be fixed.

Has anybody out there discovered if this is still happening in today's full release of v25.3?

Updated to 25.3.1 just now. Opened an image, inserted AI generated content, flattened image and saved. File attributes are 'AT'.

@glasscanvas1 the feedback from the team was the 25.2 public release should address this. Waiting for user confirmation.

Photoshop 25.2.0. Opened an image, added AI generated part of image, flatten and save. Result = AT attributes.

Is this posted in a the PS Production thread? If so, where is it?

We can all just pile this on there and maybe get someones attention.

@Jason33777973liu2 This already has the teams attention and has been replied to. They are aware and working on a solution.

Experiencing same issue when Save As Copy and selecting jpeg format to my local hard drive.

File is saved with the temporary attribute set. This is not normal behavior.

This powershell script will list all files with the temp attribute set. Replace "D:\Pics" to the path you want to search.

Get-childitem "D:\Pics" -Recurse | ForEach-Object -process {if (($_.attributes -band 0x100) -eq 0x100) {$_.Directoryname + "\" + $_.name}}

After seeing the posts mentioning that this might be AI content related, which is really dumb, I did a quick test.
Created a new blank PS image, painted it black and did a Save as Copy JPG "test.jpg" and it saved without the temp attribute.

I then added an AI generated ball to the image and did a Save as Copy JPG "test1.jpg" and it saved with the temp attribute!!

So it sure seems to be related to AI content, but this is not good and needs to be fixed ASAP.

no, its not only AI related. we have the same problem with other files as well.

A current workaround is to use “Legacy Export As”
It does not seem to apply that attribute in Export As or Quick Export.

Recently, I have found that some JPEG files generated by Photoshop - generally all those with AI-generated content - are saved with the Windows "Temporary" attribute set. This is a major issue as it inhibits some types of "cloud sync" and can even result in the files not being listed in directory searches, also it is not easy to clear this attribute. Please correct this as soon as possible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the attached file below (NB not specific to this file, just an example) with Photoshop (25.1.0 release)

2. Select a rectangular area somewhere

3. Click "Generative Fill", type "Radio", click "Generate" and choose the first option

4. Select File->Export and save in JPG format. (File->Save as copy exhibits the same behaviour)

5. Navigate to where the file is stored in Windows Explorer, right-click and select "Properties". Scroll down to see "Attributes" and observe that these include "T".

Not sure it's a bug.

All AI-generated content is automatically tagged to ensure it's traceable, so that you cannot pass AI content off as authentic photographs or artwork. This tagging is tamper proof.

Adobe needs to fix this asap. We are losing so much time because of this...

I've made a post concerning this in the full release bug forums here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/some-files-saved-as-jpeg-have-temporary-attribute-flagged/idi-p/14216602#M95408

Perhaps everyone could go and upvote/bump it so Adobe sees?

I already reported this for the beta version of 25.0 but got no response from Adobe. The problem is now in the productive version of photoshop 2024 (25.1) and also in the beta version (25.2)

When I export an image for web it seems to be always saved with two file system attributes A and T. The "T" attribute means "temporary" and makes problems. Because of the "temporary" attribute my NAS drive sync client ignores the file because it doesn't sync temporary files. This breaks my export workflow.

Since the issue is now in beta and productive version I can't export images the way I used to. This is critical.

I tested this with "export as" and "Save for web (legacy). Both resulted in the faulty T attribute on the exported jpgs.
