Snippet repeats … …

… … I have one snippet i use often (several times per day). “;;p” expands to “2026-01Jan-16 ”.

In “ordinary use” like in email message or this post, it expands perfectly.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt),

in a file name it expands twice.

MacBookAIr running MacOsX 26 something, that I call “ROSE”.

It’s more annoying than anything but I’ve never figured out why.

Anyone else have the same “problem” or a clue what to do?

Thanks,

Ihave several snips for dates i use many times a day and often in front of filenames with no problem…

zddt expands to 2026-01-16_ using date macros (Year: 2001. ) - (Month: 01) - (Day: 01)_

And these for other date purposes

llm expands to 12/31/2025 using (Snippet: '"ib_for_Dates)
const today = new Date();
const nextMonth = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth()+0,0);
GetFormattedDate(nextMonth);

zdtt expands to 2026-01-16_09:46PM using (Year: 2001) - (Month: 01) - Day: 01). Day: 01)_(Hour: 01(01-12): (Minute: 01) (AM/PM)

Hey @FerdinandReinke and @LarrySolesbee, can you offer some more info?

  1. Are you experiencing this in Save As dialogs? Larry, you’re also on Mac, yes?
  2. Which app is this in?

We have a known issue in the Firefox Save As dialog, but I’m curious if this bug is appearing elsewhere.

It seens to occur universally in any file saving operation regardless of application. And ONLY in the file save dialog. It’s just annoying. Doesn’t prevent saving or have any other effect.

Thanks,
