IPTC date read error
« on: October 20, 2025, 02:39:05 PM »
I'm running PM version 2025, 10, build 8835 on a MacBook Pro (M4) running Tahoe 26.0.1.

All of a sudden my code to insert a 3 character month stopped working. I believe this coincided with an update to the version of Photo Mechanic I'm now using on the M4, though I'm not positive.

{iptcmonthname} will show "October" for the month, but {iptcmonthname3} reads the code, and isn't showing the intended result:

Sorry about the bug. Yes, it is was introduced with the builds released last week. Use {imn3} instead for now. The issue is only with the long version of the variable.
