Hello. After last updates (Osx Catalina and CC 2020), when the save window appear, the focus, highlite, is on all the file name and extension instead only the filename. I suspect the issue is related to Catalina, but I ask if anyone has noticed the same thing. My working speed is affected and I would like to know if anyone has a solution to ensure that only the file name is highlighted (in save and export). Thank you Michele
Hey @YESTom I know it feels a bit odd since its now how it use to work but just go ahead and type what you want the file name to be and ignore that the extension disappears, you don't have to retype it or unhighlight it, it will be added back after you hit confirm/save.
Hey @clif_CROP many thanks for getting back to me. I've tried and it's true that my computer see it as an image but I don't get the extension at the end :
So when I try to upload it to wordpress, it doesn't let me for security reasons. It wants a file with the extension.
You don't get the same? When you type your name, when you go and see the image, you get the extension ?
Hey again @YESTom I would start with confirming that you are runing 22.5 or 22.5.1 which came out like yesterday. If you are on an older version like I was then yes, this will still be "broken". But to confirm my process, whether using Save As or Save for Web I get an extenion automatically added based on what I tell PS to save it as. Graphic attached showing screenshots of what I see till file save.
Hey @clif_CROP Many thanks for your explanation which is very clear. I want to say "Lucky you" coz when I do the same as you I don't get the extention added 😞
The most important for me is Save for the Web.
I'm running on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 and I downloaded the latest version "Version Adobe Photoshop : 22.5.1 20210907.r.441 de74e1a x64"
On which Mac OS are you? Do you think it come from that?
I have this as output parameters (sorry it's in French)
Happy Friday @YESTom so I'm on Big Sur and for the English version of Photoshop, the problem started with Catalina and carried over to Big Sur and hopefully wont' come back with Monterey. I keep my OS up to date always but with some script adjustments etc. I typically hold off on Photoshop updates between bug fixes but at this point all my big issuses have been resolved. Even though you are on the latest PS, being on Mojave could be an issue (but probably not very likely) or in the localization of running OS and PS in French maybe the issue still persists? For one, I can't find in the English version of PS the screenshots you shared. I have Export Preferences in the program Preferences and then there is a Preset called Export Presets but neither looks like what you are showing me. Do you have some plugin or extension that is adding these settings? I think you'd need @J453 to chime in if localization could be part of the problem.
Thank you very much @clif_CROP for your time and effort in helping me understand and solve this matter, I really appreciate it. I'm glad to hear that all is working fine for you.
Maybe you're right, it is a possibility that Mojave can be the reason why it is not working. I still haven't updated some software that I use for work are not yet compatible.
To find the settings I showed you, when you save for the web look top right :
They are the "Output parameters" maybe I messed somethig here? Once you have the window in front of you you can switch tab with "next" and "previous". Let me know if you have something similar.
I don't think the language of my PS is related to the issue, but who knows.
Ahh @YESTom I see these output settings now. I even did some googling and in app search to try and locate but I can see what you shared in your screengrabs. I've posted the English screens as well below but as a first pass, most of what I'm seeing looks to be the same and I've not changed any of these from default ever. The ONE thing I do see that is different in your setting is on "Filename Compatibility" Mine has Unix checked and you don't have anything checked. Maybe check the Unix box and see if that fixes it and let us know!
Hi, this is a Mac OS issue and not Adobes. In past versions, Adobe was able to get around this, but not now.
If you go ahead and save the file with whatever name you want, it SHOULD retain the file extension based on what you have set in your file dialog, Save for Web/.jpg or .gif or .png...
Try a test and make sure it is working for you, but this workflow is for me right now.
Hey @Ярослав5C30 now you get the same result you want but not the way it use to be. So instead of having just the file name selected, its file+extension highlighted but as @CShubert stated, just type the name you want it to be "This_is_file" and when its saved you'll have This_is_file.jpg so it will be automatically added based on what file type you selected before naming the file.

Hi, I want to fix this little issue that always have when I want to "Save optimized as" or simple "Save".
The name and the extension appear highlighted together and if I type a new name the extension disappears. I remember older versions did not do it automatically.

hey @Bàp Film School unfortunately its not going to back to to the way it use to be. This started with Apple making a change and you'll see across the board on every application running on a Mac, not just Adobe apps, that the whole file name area will always be highlighted BUT the majority of apps just don't show the extension on that line. For example when you go to save a TextEdit file it doesn't show you .txt on a Save screen.
Not it was really a problem back when you would create the name for your file without an extension and it would save a file that wasn't openable until you add the extension to the file but fortunately this has been fixed.
SO while it takes a little getting use to, with the newest versions of PS we can just ignore that it shows the extension and type away what we want the file name to be and when its saved the extension will automatically be added. If there is something that might be changed with Photoshop in the furture then maybe its to give us users the option to hide the extension from being shown in the Save As: field in the first place. I've gotten in the habit of looking at the Format: toggle anyways to confirm I'm saving out as the format that I want it to be anyways.

The big issue for me is when saving out screenshots for this Adobe forum, if one forgets to manually add the extension after renaming in Save for Web, this forum won't accept the images.
Adobe was suppossed to have fixed the Save for Web extension issue in photoshop 22.5
(however it was only fixed in Catalina and Big Sur and not Mojave)

Curious @Jeff Arola if Adobe will "drop" support of Mojave once Monterry comes out. Right now its listed as the minimimum requirement yet I'd be surprised if it didn't run on a High Sierra or even lower Mac even if some bugs showed. I think I recall they said they would only support back 3 versions yet I would bet the oldest OS gets the least amount of attention.

Yes. 10.14 will be dropped with the new versions of Adobe apps at MAX and the release of Monterey. The policy follows Apple's historical support of current version and two versions back (3 most current versions of macOS) with security updates.

And yes! It can get worse! In OSX 12.0.1 Monterey when saving the name isn't even high-lighted anymore! What a huge dissapointment since the rest of the OSX is quite good... It's crazy: when savin you now have to enter 3x tab to get the name (PLUS EXTENSION haha!) highlighted. One can't belive it: its even worse than it was .... aaarghhhh

Hey @Hans Bos Amsterdam doesn't appear to be just Monterey. If you are talking about the Save As... screen, on both my Macs (one on Monterey, one on Big Sur) the Save As... file name field is not highlighted on either computer when running the new 2022 Photoshop 23.0.1.
However, with 2021 veresion (which mine are on 22.5.1 and not the .3 latest) my Big Sur Mac still has file name highlighted on Save As but Montery Mac will not highlight the file name. I could be wrong but I swear for a split second I see it highlight as the window pops up.
Hopefully 2022 version can get an update to bring the highlighting back to all operating systems and its not an Apple issue. For what it is worth, on Save for Web across the board the file name is highlighted so it is possible.

In Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1,
Photoshop 2022 and Illustrator 2022 (and probably all CC software).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn on Finder > Preferences > Show all filename extensions
2. Try to Save As... from Photoshop. Start typing a filename to replace "Untitled.psd".
Expected result: Caret and/or highlight sits to the left of the file extension ".psd".
Actual result: After the first character is typed, for example "a", the filename completes as "a.psd" and puts the caret at the end of the file extension.
Additional bug:
Back up and remove ".psd" so the filename reads "a". Then type ".psd" manually and hit backspace. The name becomes "a.ps.psd".
