Question

Can no longer "copy" and "paste" text to "save as" option.

Trying to figure out what changed after upgrading to Elements 2022.

With Elements 2019 I was able to add a text ID number to a picture, then highlight the text and use command-c to copy the text. Then while choosing "save as" I could use command-v to paste the ID number I copied as the file name. This option no longer works. I can copy any text from any source and try to use it as the save as name and it will not add the text using the common ommand-v to paste.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Interesting discovery. If I use the "save as option," (as opposed to the "save for the web" option, I can copy/paste text. Go figure.

If you are still concerned, try posting in the Photoshop Elements section.  This is the section for the Premiere Elements video editing application.

    To be more precise, anyone can duplicate this problem by just opening any image with PE 2022, then go to "save for web." Copy any text on your desktop. Use the paste option (command-v or "paste" from the menu bar) to fill in "save as." Nothing happens. I'm using Mac 12.4, but the paste issue only happens in PE 2022, not with other apps. I have never seen an app that does not allow a simple copy and paste for a "save as" name.
