Normal "Save" operation in recording Actions becomes a "Save as" operation
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 2004, Illustrator version 25
When you create a new action and use "Save" it becomes a "Save As" where it displays a path.
My scenario: I often have to re-save a batch-exported pdf again with normal "Save" so that all text is converted to paths for a print house via custom shortcut F12.
Because during batching there is no option do convert the text.
So I need a second run with recorded actions:
- select all
- convert all text to path (outlines)
- save
- close
The normal save operation is required so this can work with any file in any folder!
Changing the path for the "Save As" operation is a really annoying time killer.
Please repair normal "Save" action!

Verified with Illustrator 28.4.1. The problem continues.

これレッキとした不具合なので、中の人に目を通していただけてるか確認のリアクションが欲しいです

I felt that the translation was difficult to convey, so I corrected it.
I have confirmed that this has been reproduced since version 23 (CC2019)

When a user creates an action in the form of recording work, the "Save" is recorded as "Save As".
The user must replace the command with "Insert Menu Item" to work around this glitch.I have confirmed that this has been reproduced since version 23 (CC2019), but it seems to be a bug that has existed for a long time.
This is not good.<にほんご>
ユーザー作業でアクションを記録すると「保存」が「別名で保存」として記録されてしまう。
「メニュー項目を挿入」でコマンドを差し替えるしか対策がない。
手持ちのCC2019以降で再現を確認したが、もっと以前から不具合があった可能性がすごい高い。
