Time Variables getting extra characters before AM/PM on MacOs 14

[Gary D.]

This week I updated BOTH PM6+ to 6856 and my iMac to MacOs 14. 
 Im seeing extra characters when I use time variables on the contact sheet or image info.
They are appearing between the seconds and the AM/PM suffix.
Ive attached a screen shot of both my Set Info Text Config as well as the output showing the extra characters.

I did try reinstalling pm6 6784 and the characters showed up there so Im guessing its a MACOS issue
But I don't see those char when I view the metadata using exiftool (only shows military time so no am/pm)  Lightroom cc or Affinity Pro
Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,

  This is a known issue with Photo Mechanic's time variable, {time}, on Sonoma. There are 2 solutions until this problem is fixed. 
 
  If you want to use the 12 hour time, then use  {time:0,8} {time:-2,2}  in place of the existing {time} variable. This will leave a comma after the second, for the single digit hours.
 
 If you want to use the 24 hour time, then use the following variables  {h24}:{min}:{sec}   in place of the existing {time} variable.

Best regards,

--Bob
