Export G-Code - Rename or Change Location

So I'm not certain if I'm dealing with a bug or if this is expected behavior.  However, I can't rename my GCode export in the Save As dialog on Prusa 2.6.1 on Mac.  I swear I've done this many times before, but both the name and location can't be changed, whether I use the Export button or the SD Card button.

I've found dozens of threads on a tangentially related topic, all focused on changing the "default configuration" for file naming, but that's not what I'm interested in.

I have a .3mf project file which has three different part configurations and I want to save them with a quick prefix A, B, or C, so I know which I need to print for a particular part set given the small LCD screen.  Or for that matter, I might just be looking to name a file "Bob".

Currently the save dialog is completely readonly meaning I can only overwrite my previous file.  I also can't select a different location to save to as all of the disk and folder names are greyed out.  

Not certain if this is a 2.6.x thing or a Mac OS bug, so any feedback is welcomed.

Not on a mac but that problem doesn't occur for me on any of the PS releases, including the 2.7 alphas.  Not seen anyone report it as a bug on the PS github either and I would have thought it would have been reported by now as its a pretty serious issue.

Problem seems to have eventually resolved itself without any obvious root cause or resolution action.  I just kept trying to save periodically after various restarts, SD card swaps, Disk Utility checks, etc.  Then walked way for a couple of hours and came back and it worked.
