MacOS Catalina, save dialog freeze

A bad bug with Catalina. I cant save a project. The save file prompt comes up. You can select a name and destination but will not save. You can click on it but does not save. Have restarted computer and restarted project but still happens. I can export image before I save so thats good. But Cant save project...........
Has happened a few times now...... I might have to abandon pixel edit...... I will miss you. Will try and post a video.

Does it help if you go to the Settings and disable Asynchronous saving at the bottom? You can also try removing the application settings directory /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/PyxelEdit
Hmm in finder and terminal I get "no directory exists". But Im not very technically talented at all...... Is there a file I could search for and delete in the search function?
I purchased Aseprite. I like Pixel edit better.
Just tried it and it does now indeed save!!!!!! So happy. If the problem happens again I will report.
thanks so much for you response. I prefer pyxel Edit!!!!!!!
It comes up with a save screen. Click "save" Then the same save screen comes up but its blank. Click on save again but its frozen. Have to force quit.

But then immediately this screen comes up but its frozen. Pyxel edit is frozen

Not sure that helps.
Sorry I've tried different things to try and isolate why its doing this. Thought maybe a video might help at least explain it. I tried changing names, restarting..... different folders.... new folders.........
I can export my work but I lose my layers/ animations. I will play with it a bit more but I might have to move on.
But thanks so much for looking at it and responding. I do appreciate it. I would delete and buy again if I knew that would work.
I do have to input my key every time and activate it. But Ive had to do this for a long time so that hasn't changed.
Thanks again.
Yeah that doesn't sound like a sustainable way to work. Do you know if the autosaves work?
I'll try to remember to post back in this thread if I manage to reproduce it and fix it.

No I dont think the autosaves are working either.......

Maybe the first answer here is worth a shot:

I will try updating to the latest Catalina version soon to see if that triggers the problem.
Tried multiple things. Not able to save.
Well at least its not just me. I wonder as other people update they will soon have issues........
The changing of preferences accessibility settings doesn't seem to work.
Thanks
Tried only a few times so cant say I extensively tried different things.
Catalina 10.15.3, same issue. Will try the method that Lurk describe, and give a feedback. And wait for bug fix, cause like Pyxel Edit!
Have the same issue on 10.15.4. Toque's workaround of switching folder first seems to work ?
The other area I've hit this issue is choosing a folder for the export output.
Thanks!
I think the issue is in the AIR runtime's interaction with the operating system, so I don't think I can code around it. It seems to happen less frequently with the latest release of AIR, but I need to test more to see if it's solved completely. Let me know if you want to help out testing.
Temporary workaround: Make sure there is no highlighted file before clicking Save!
I also recommend lowering the autosave interval in the settings to minimize the risk of losing work.

If I create a new folder every time I save it seems to work. So I carry on.
I realize updates break these things...... Thanks for the effort.

I just quit pyxel edit. (normally its always running) Loaded it. new project. Save as. Touched/ changed nothing but it saved and it seems to be working. Shut down and tried a few times and it doesn't lock up. Its a strange thing.
Glad you can make sense of it. Good luck!!
