{time-locale} variable formatting

[ryan-id]

I am seeing issues with the {time-locale} template variable for file names. I noticed that the variable has changed in the last few months. It used to produce the time separated by "_" like the example in the documentation shows (e.g. "00_38_26") but is now using full-width colons "：". In looking through past downloads I found another variation on files from November to December that was in this: "(12_16_2024 12｜42｜27 PM)". Was this change intended?

Here is the template I am using:
SingleFile/{url-hostname-domain}/%if-empty<{page-title}|No title> ({date-locale} {time-locale}).html

Here is the filename for downloading Apple's homepage:
Apple (1_28_2025 2：49：37 PM).html

I am on a Mac and have observed this issue in Chrome and Firefox.

I know that the full-width characters are due to compatibility, as noted in the known issues. I am unsure if using colons was an intensional change from the previously used underscores "_" which are still in the documentation.

Environment

• OS: MacOS Sonoma
• Browser: Firefox & Chrome
• Version: 1.22.77

I confirm the | issue is a bug and should have been fixed, it looks like the fix did not work though... Could you please export the settings from the options page and give me the values of filenameReplacedCharacters and filenameReplacementCharacters? The problem is that these 2 arrays are not coherent.

"filenameReplacedCharacters": [
"~",
"+",
"?",
"%",
"*",
":",
"|",
""",
"<",
">",
"\\",
"\u0000-\u001f",
"�"
],

"filenameReplacementCharacters": [
"～",
"＋",
"？",
"％",
"＊",
"：",
"｜",
"＂",
"＜",
"＞",
"＼"
]

I'm sorry, I misread your issue. The | seems actually fixed (as expected) and it looks like the arrays are OK.

You can simply replace filenameReplacementCharacters with the value below in order to always replace : with _, and import the modified settings in the options page.

"filenameReplacementCharacters": [
"～",
"＋",
"？",
"％",
"＊",
"_",
"｜",
"＂",
"＜",
"＞",
"＼"
]
