I like to use this tool

so, if the file has layers, or if it is in 16bit and you try to save it as a jpg, the 'save as copy' check box is automatically and forcibly checked. If you flatten the image and make sure it is 8bit then you can uncheck the 'save as copy' box and it won't add the '_copy' ending.
