{tmn} variable for {todaymonth} not evaluating. Also InfoText length question.

Hi,
Going through a list of all the PM variables in ImageInfo to see the format of what they all output, I've discovered that it seems that {tmn} is not evaluating properly for {todaymonth}.

Photo Mechanic Plus version 2025.10, build 8858 macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 (24G325).

Relevant Info Text is:
TIDA      todaydow3, tdw3      {tdw3}
TIDA      todaymil, tdym      {tdym}
TIDA      todaymonth, tmn      {tmn}
TIDA      todaymonth0, tmn0      {tmn0}
TIDA      todaymonthname, tmnn      {tmnn}

I tried {todaymonth} and it evaluates correctly. Not sure if this behavior is only in InfoText or also appears elsewhere.

Also,
Is there a character limit, line limit, or other length limit on the info text?

Unfortunately there is no case in the code to evaluate "tmn" as a variable, so it's not going to work anywhere. We'll have to add it in a future build.

I don't believe there is a length limit on the Info Text panel.

Thanks. I took those variables straight from https://docs.camerabits.com/support/solutions/articles/48000358438-list-of-photo-mechanic-variables#Time-and-Date-Variables. I'll open a new topic for an issue I've seen with the Info Text panel. See https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=17082.0.

Yes, it is listed as a variable. But it is never evaluated by the code. It was either never in the program to begin with, or it was accidentally removed at some point. As mentioned, we will have to add it in a future build.

Thanks! And understood. I simply wanted to make sure that y’all knew that I’d taken my list of variables from the user guide pages so you knew where to check.
