File naming and saving in 2022 PS is a pain

Question

I absolutely hate the change made to file saving and naming. Forcing Copy Of to save a JPEG from an image containing PS features not in the JPEG. Also, I have had several issues with PS adding the file extension twice. xxxxxx.PS.PS etc. In my opinion what a stupid change creating a lot more labor to save your files. 2021 worked just fine - it converted the file to a JPEG or whatever and saved it without all the crap you have to go through now.  I solve it by editing out the Copy Of but why do I have to do this?. If I had any idea of this, I would never of updated.  I often do work that uses PS features, save the PS and then convert to a JPEG - no fun now. Perhaps I can go back to 2021, I will look into it.

Hi @steveg16621797. Here is a solution for you:

"You now have the option to revert to the legacy “Save As” workflow (from before recent changes) on both macOS and Windows. Enabling this preference will make both the “Save As” and “Save a Copy” commands operate within the same “Save As” dialog box with all its previous options, including the “as a copy” checkbox. The only difference between the two commands will be whether the checkbox is automatically selected (when using “Save a Copy”). Additionally, you will now have the option to not append copy when saving a copy. On macOS, if you enable the legacy workflow, the option to not append copy will be forced ‘on’ due to the changes made in macOS 10.15 and later. On Windows, the two preferences will operate independently."
