can not save file or export image under any different name than original


Recommended Posts

Hi,

My problem is in the title. It is very anoying to save as originaly posted name and rename it later. That is even worse, when you want to export couple separate layers into separate files. I enter only latin letters or just numbers. It sometimes still save file, but that is more like ocasion. I attached video to see the process.

I use a Mac & cannot open your avi file; however, File > Save as should allow you to save native format files with a different filename from the original, if that is what you mean.

If not, a screenshot may help understand what you mean.

Your video seems a bit confusing, files seem to appear and disappear. What files does the Desktop contain & display if shown in Explorer?

Hi @paulius3d welcome to the forums,

When you attempted to save your files under '02' and '03' the Windows save dialog appeared you hit enter and it appears that Photo made no attempt to export the file. Whilst comparably when you saved '01' and '04' you manually clicked save. Is it perhaps related to the way in which you're trying to save the files?

Yes, That solved the problem. Thank you. But it also would be nice to add ability to use Enter :)

Just a note: on mac the Enter key works in the Export dialog window for both to open the Save dialog + to confirm the Save task.

(… like in most other dialog windows, excepted those with a "Close" button – which appear actually obsolete in these windows because they have the mac typical round buttons in their top left corner)

I still found it very strange. Why I should get back to mouse and point to Save? When exporting some elements I usually type a name for that element and press Enter to save. But that doesnt work. Only by pointing to the Save button with a mouse. Can not get used to that. I would say it has to be the other way.
