MacOS Catalina 10.15.5 Photoshop 21.2.0
This has been happening in the last few releases of Photoshop on Mac OS Catalina. AND IS STILL IN THE LATEST 21.2.0 RELEASE.
All the Photoshop professionals who work on Mac and keep their computers up-to-date that I've talked to, are having this exact same issue and are also super frustrated. It forces uneccessary productivity and workflow problems on everyone.
Why would I want to unknowingly save a copy when I have explicitly pressed the button to "REPLACE" the file?

Came to add the .02 that this problem still exists with new 21.2 version.
BUT, here is the thing. With a SAVE AS, if you pick to save over a file, it confirms the overwrite but then makes a copy instead which is ridiculous and has led to actual problems with file management. YET, if you do s SAVE FOR WEB (legacy) and go through the steps to save over a file it will write over the file.
SO don't see how OS can be blamed for this, since it CAN be done.

I cannot believe it's still happening. It's getting ridiculous. It seems like there's a new revolutionary version of the software (updated today) but this bloody bug is still there. Is anyone from Adobe even listening to those comments?

Nope. I'm running Photshop 21.2.0 and Cataling 10.15.5 and I'm still having the issue, including .png files. JUST LET ME UNCHECK THE FREAKING SAVE A COPY BOX.
YES!!! Please fix this ASAP! This means that if I want to make an update then I have to save, navigate to the appropriate folder, double check that I am deleting the right one, then delete, then rename the other one. And I have to do this EVERY TIME I need to resave my JPEG. It is ridiculous.
photoshop cc 2020 saving unwanted copy instead of saving over I work news it takes valuable time to go in and delete old one and take the word copy off. It happens with pngs, jpgs, psds - it tells me it's replacing it but it isn't this is maddening
Bonjour, je trouve que toute cette polémique, n'a pas lieu d'être....
1. Les commandes Enregistrer sous... et Enregistrer sont des commandes réservées aux documents originaux. il est donc normal quand on crée un nouveau document de l'enregistrer sous *.psd ou *.tiff formats qui vont conserver toute l'architecture des calques de PS.
2. Les autre formats tels que .jpg ou . png etc... ne conservent pas l'architecture du document tels que travailler dans PS, donc sont à considérer comme des document livrables ou exportés.
Personnellement les document originaux, je conserve le non-destructif et les exportations je les fait au format souhaité pour par le client, je ne vais pas leur donner toutes mes recètes de cuisine et donc j'utilise, à partir de mon original, Exporter... qui me permet très simplement de paramétrer facilement les caractéristiques du fichier livré.
Je ne pense pas qu'il faille avoir bac plus 10 pour comprendre cette façon de travailler et permet surtout de ne pas écraser trop facilement nos fichiers !
Hello, I find that all this debate, does not take place to be.... 1. Enregistrer orders under and to Record are orders reserved for the original documents. it is therefore normal when they create a new document to record it under *.psd or *.tiff formats which are going to keep all architecture of the tracing papers of PS.
2. Other one formats such as .jpg or. png etc do not keep the architecture of the document such as to work in PS, therefore are to consider document as which been be delivered or export.
Personally document eccentrics, I keep the non-destroying and exports me them made in desired format for by the customer, I am not going to give them all my recètes of kitchen and therefore I use, from my original, Export who allows me very simply to define easily the characteristics of the delivered file.
I do not think that it is necessary to have receptacle more 10 to understand this manner of working and allows especially not to crush our files too easily! Sorry, Google translation!!!

Pourquoi, ne corrigez-vous pas cette boite de dialogue qui ne fonctionne plus depuis quelques temps déjà, les mots copie + son incrément ne s'ajoutent plus au nom de fichier si le fichier existe déjà et que la case devant "En tant que copie" est cochée, c'est vraiment une erreur pénalisante.
Cette erreur est présente depuis des mois et des versions de PS !!!
MacOS 10.15.5 + PS 20.2.0
Why, you do not correct this limp with dialogue which already does not work any more for some time, words copy its incrément do not add any more in the name of file if the file already exists and that the hut in front of ' As copy ' it is checked, is really a prejudicial error.
MacOS 10.15.5 + PS 20.2.0
This error is present for months and versions of PS!!! Sorry Google is translating this for me !

I hate it when computers want to "help" protect me from "human errors". It's the Microsoft paperclip and autocorrect allover. Might work for some people, but we should be able to turn it of, in a natural workflow.
If this is done by Adobe on purpose, then they need to give themselves an uppercut. It's causing all sorts of problems in my workplace by
NOT overwriting the existing jpeg, even though the pop-up window says
"xx.jpg" already exists. Do you want to replace it? I click "replace" but it doesn't replace it. Instead, adding another jpeg in the same location with "copy" added, leaving the original jpeg untouched. This affects InDesign docs where the jpeg is linked, as they are still linking to the old jpeg, not the updated, renamed "copy" version. This has resulted in incorrect artwork being dispatched. Please admit you messed up and fix it fast.
