DesignStationYT Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 This is a pretty minor bug, but a strange one. I've noticed that when I output a PDF from Publisher with all marks on and the date and time is included on the PDF, the time included is an hour behind the system time.

So it’s 11:57 a.m. where you are, but a PDF produced now would be timestamped 10:57?

thomaso Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 If you save an .afpub now, does Affinity display the correct time in the Field Panel as last "Saved" time? Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's an hour behind too. And interestingly it shows PST – which is not a time zone I'm in or that my system is set to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) I don't know about PST. Is it normal in your real time zone that it doesn't show a "+" value for any deviation towards PST (or e.g. summer/winter time), as it does to me "+1" for GMT: How about rebooting your mac, possibly in safe boot mode (press Shift until the start sound appeared), then login + reboot normally again? And, just in case: are your time AND the region settings in macOS set correctly / according to your location? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203413 Edited March 9, 2022 by thomaso Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Isn't Yukon Standard the same as Mountain Standard without the daylight saving time? Could that be a problem?

MikeTO Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I can duplicate the problem if I change my timezone to Yukon time. Yukon uses Mountain Standard Time year round now and macOS seems to understand this but Affinity is saving with PST when it should be MST.

We no longer observe daylight savings changes here, so during the winter months we're equivalent to Mountain Time and in the summer months we're equivalent to Pacific Time.

And what is the exact date when the change occurs? It was around March 9 that the last time-change for you folks happened, if I remember correctly.

And it's around March 9 now There is no change in the Yukon - although some there say they're equivalent to Mountain Time in the winter and Pacific Time in the summer they're actually on MST year round. Given all the changes to DST in various jurisdictions in the past few years I thought this might be an error in macOS so I created a quick test in Xcode to see what changing the timezone via System Preferences did. - When I set my timezone to Eastern, my script reported it as Eastern Standard Time, DST not in effect, with DST starting on March 13. Affinity says it's EST as expected. - When I set my timezone to Yukon, my script reported it as Yukon Standard Time, DST not in effect, with no upcoming DST transition. Affinity says it's PST, not as expected.
