  1. Opened PSD on my SSD (Sandisk Extreme 1TB)
  2. Worked on it.
  3. Tried to 'Save As..' on the same SSD but the save freezes.

All the other Ps functions don't freeze.

What the heck is going on?

 

macOS Catalina v10.15

Adobe CC Ps 20.0.7

    *UPDATE

    macOS Catalina v10.15.1

    Adobe CC Ps 21.0.1

     

    The `Save As..' used to freeze on 30% -ish now it freezes at exactly 99%.
    Guess the bug is 99% fixed 🤦‍♂

      Have you updated to 10.15.1? Catalina is new and prone to surprises. For now, work from your local drive and when you have saved your work, close Photoshop. and move your files back to the external drive.

       

      Also some people don't like to work from external drives because too much can go wrong with a connector like USB that slides in and can easily be knocked loose.

      Yeah well, Adobe isn't keeping up too good to Catalina now are they. Another annoying bug in Ps 2020 would be how the drop shadow fx gets cut when applied in a group or shape/vector layers.

       

      And yeah, I've been copying & moving my PSDs back to my external drive.

      But for quick fixes, it's annoying as heck man. Going wrong with a connector? USB-C to USB-C will hardly fall off on its own.

      (+Adding Steps)

      4. I have to 'Force Quit' my Ps.

      5. After the force quit, my Ps won't open. I have to 'Restart' my Mac.

        I have the exact same issue. It started last week. I try to save my file, located on a portable Samsung SSD. Somewhere along the save progress it just freezes. Sometimes it's at 18%, sometimes at 99% - there's no exact percentage when it freezes. But it's almost every time. 

         

        For a few days the issue was gone, so I almost forgot about it, but today it happened again. And again, and again, and again. 

        I decided to update to Photoshop 2020, but the issue persists. 

         

        I try to save the file, it freezes. I have to Force Quite Photoshop. Photoshop won't open, I have to Restart my Mac.
