Adding suffix to end of editing file quicker

Question

My Photoshop Editing Workflow Question When I’m editing in Photoshop, I retouch the original image and save it. Sometimes I’ll then create a second version — for example, a different crop or a black-and-white edit.To avoid overwriting the first file, I add a suffix to the filename before saving the second version. On my Apple computer, when I go to save the new version, the cursor doesn’t automatically move to the end of the filename. Instead, it highlights the entire filename (everything before the .jpg extension). See attached image. Years ago the cursor would automatically land at the end of the filename, just before .jpg, which made adding a suffix much faster. Does anyone know how I can change this setting or fix the issue?

I think Stephen is correct thathow Photoshop does this appears to be consistent with how Mac applications work in general. I tried the same thing in several other applications by Apple, Microsoft, and others, and all of them highlight the entire filename (excluding the extension) by default.Apple seems to have designed this to make it easier to rename the entire name, and this seems reasonable. Adding a suffix seems more of a niche case, so I don’t think even Apple has to change this.If Photoshop defaulted to placing the cursor at the end of the filename, it would become non-standard compared to other Mac apps, so I see no need to change this.
