Saving/File extension issue in Photoshop 21.1.0

Nothing new?

March 2021. Still not fixed.

Doubleplusungood.

Jan 28th and still having this issue. Mojave 10.14.6. Adobe Photoshop Version: 22.1.1 20210104.r.138. Making life miserable. ADOBE WHERE ARE YOU? 

As a work-around until the issue is fixed, you could try a scripted method to see if it overcomes the issue:

/* This script exports a Save for Web JPEG to a user selected-folder, replacing file name word spaces with hyphens */

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length !== 0) {
    var docName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '').replace(/ /g, '-');
    var docNameInput = prompt('Enter a filename (without extension):', docName);
    var docNameOutput = docNameInput.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var docPath = Folder.selectDialog('Select a folder to save the JPEG image to...');

    // File Path & Saving Code
    var saveFileJPEG = new File(docPath + '/' + docNameOutput + '.jpg');
    if (!confirm('File exists - press "Yes" to overwrite or "No" to cancel...', true))
        throw "Script cancelled!";
    SaveForWeb(saveFileJPEG);

    // JPEG S4W Options
    function SaveForWeb(saveFileJPEG) {
        var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
        sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
        sfwOptions.includeProfile = true;
        sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;
        sfwOptions.optimized = true;
        sfwOptions.quality = 70;
        app.activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFileJPEG, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);
    }

    // alert('JPEG saved!');

} else {
    alert('You must have a document open!');
}

Downloading and Installing Adobe Scripts

I have offered this multiple times in other topics threads lamenting the same issue, however, I have not had any feedback so I don't know if it works or not.

I'm having this issue, I process a ton of images daily for work, this has been such a problem for us, having to manually add the extensions on a few exports is fine but when you do it for work all day and it really get old, come on Adobe.

I did notice that the problem was introduced in Catalina I think.

I have a comptuer that's still on High Sierra and I've done my photoshop updates to the latest, and I don't have this issue. Adobe and Apple might have to work together on this one to figure it out.

Sooo......It's basically October. This still hasn't been fixed. Must be Covid holding up the process?

Try using: File > Export > Export As and selecting the format and other details the subsequent dialogue box.

Hi there,

Sorry that the Filename and the extension are both getting highlighted while saving a file in Photoshop 2020 "Save for web(legacy)".

We have seen many other reports and this problem has been identified as a known issue. Our engineering team is working towards a fix. Please feel free to add your vote and share your feedback in this discussion  Photoshop: File name and extension highlight when saving on macOS 10.15 Catalina so our engineers can look into it. 

Thanks,
