P: Can't export to this location while using Export As to a folder with special characters

As the title says photoshop refuses to export to certain folders for no apparent reason with the attached screenshot.

 

it appears has problem with exporting to any folder that's more that about 3 levels deep - for example /users/me/Downloads works but /users/me/download/test doesn't 

 

this has only started happening since updating today to 22.3. 

 

if I run photoshop under Rosetta it works fine export to locations that before apparently photoshop was unable to export to previously 

 

I've allowed photoshop full disk access but that doesn't solve the issue when running photoshop nativity

Hello,

 

Sorry I kinda forgot to check back in with this. I am on windows and I noticed that if I include "#" anywhere in the photoshop file name, not in the export name, that it will not allow me to export. I had a client send over a bunch of images grouped in folders that needed to be cut out and I desided for simplicity to use the folder names they had as the photoshop file names and the were numbered using "#" in it.

I'm using 2020 MBA M1 and I'm having the same issue. I now have upgraded to Photoshop 23.0.0 and I dont see the option to enable "use legacy" in my export preference menu.

@mcrocker01 Is the problem for you, that # symbol in the file name you get an error?

@cathryndiane @EZMEDIA You both are seeing a different issue with # in the file name. Are you both on windows?

I'm finding that this issue still exists if the file name contains a "#" in it, even in 22.5.
