stop photoshop from adding .jpg when I am typing -in save for web

[katyam4068403]

Hi-

I always use export > save for web. With the latest update of photoshop (23) whenever I BEGIN to type the name of the file it adds .jpg which is maddening because instead of say "horse.jpg" it will be "h.jpgorse" because the moment I type the first letter .jpg appears.

Is there a preference I can change or a workaroud?

thank you!

What is your OS version and mac specifications?

Normally, it is appeared like that with file name highlighted so you can edit the name easily.

Hi Omar,

My operating system is macOS Monterey 12.0.1 and it's a MacBook Pro 2019

What is happening is the filename and extension are highlighted and the moment I start typing it puts in .jpg

If I delete everything it does the same thing. The only thing I can do is make sure .jpg is there and then click before it but this gets tedious to have to place my cursor each time.

I tried to record my screen. Not sure you can see what I mean because I didn't record audio/any explanation but hopefully you can.

In the video the first time I just start typing "cat" without having to put my cursor in the window and the minute I write the "c" the .jpg comes up

The second time I DELETE the name so it's an empty box and I try to type and again after "c" it adds .jpg –so I go and put my cursor in to finish the word. I would rather have to add the extension myself that would be easier.
