Saving as Copy instead of Overwriting: PS 2020 with macOS Catalina [locked]

Just updates my Mac to Big Sur.

Any file i want to save will be saved as a Copy ('filename Kopie.jpg'), even if I click the 'replace' option. All permissions on the files and in the .library folder are correct, so the above recommanded solution will not work.

Also, saving .psd files, Photoshop leaves weired files like 'Adobe Photoshop 234523452345' that use up lots of disc space. It seems that there is no proper clean-up after processing.

Instead of periodicly updating the UI which just results in cofusing users, Adobe should make sure the basic stuff is working. This is really not satisfying!

Overwriting finally works for me after updating to Big Sur. I've never been able to get this to work, despite trying the various fixes suggested here.

Myabe it's purely anecdotal but it seems to me every update is about adding in shortcuts for amatuers to churn out pro level work without needing any skill or training. And these cheats are costing us in basic basic BASIC long term functions like saving freaking jpegs not as a copy!!!!

Does Adobe even listen? Do they care? They're have been at least 6 or more updates since 2019 and I see more bells & whistles and zero bug fixes. 

Having the same problem here, absolutely not solved, insane that such a simple bug still hasn't been taken care of. Please do your job.

I was having the same annoying problem, but seem to have figured it out on my laptop.

I typically use the keyboard shortcut 'Option/Command/S' to make my 'save as' command, which doesnt let me unclick the 'Save As Copy' box, and I have to manually delete the word 'copy' in the filename.  This also leads to issues when trying to batch out a bunch of images.

BUT, if I use 'Shift/Command/S', I dont have the problem.  Also, instead of using a keyboard shortcut and going to File>Save As> seems to fix the problem for me.

Hey guys I bit the bullet and updated to Big Sur--figured it can't get worse right? Well it's only been a day or 2 but so far save as jpeg is finally not saving a copy! I discovered by just using my regular workflow so maybe there are still glitches but that was such a big one for me and if it's actually working it's a major relief.

This is not fixed. This is a work around. When will we get an actual fix???

I haven't had time to read through the whole thread (shows how long this has been going on for!) But have Adobe actually made any response?

Same issue. It happened after I (finally) updated to Catalina and Photoshop 2021. This is really destroying my workflow. Adobe get it together!!!!

Experiencing the same and just adding my frustration - power in numbers etc
