So there's even more excitement and mystery! I was trying to edit the times in the preceding post, and MacOS data detectors kept firing on the time text, inserting that little dotted window around the, with a downward pointing triangle that invites a click.

I didn't want to do anything other than edit the time, but the Data Detector wouldn't let me insert the edit cursor. (Now, I didn't try to arrow over the text, I was using the trackpad. Having just thought of this, I just tried arrowing into the time and that does work.)

So I filed a Feedback using the Feedback Assistant. It may simply be that I don't know how data detectors are supposed to work, and that I don't know if, or how, data detectors are enabled in TextEdit.

The beat goes on... (At 10:08 AM.)

What Time Is It?

This is a test post that may or may not be published. As currently displayed in the Displayed Attributes, $PublicationDate is 9:29 AM (correct).

The preceding post was written at 6:51 AM ($Created attribute). The $PublicationDate in the exported html file now hosted on the server shows 18:51 (6:51 PM), which is 12 hours ahead of the $Created time.

I did not observe the change. I noticed this yesterday on another post when the sort order wasn't observed and a newer post wasn't at the top of the list. That made me look at $PublicationDate, and I noted the 12-hour discrepancy. I manually edited it, and subsequent posts and exports reflected the correct date and time.

This is flakey, but now I know to look for it.

(Edit: This export overwrote the previous page with the 18:51 time.)

I'm pleased to report that beta 2 of MacOS 27 has restored Visualizer to the Music app, even in Stage Manager.

I wonder if the Music app in TVOS has the Visualizer?

I must investigate.
