Steps to reproduce

This only happens on the new macOS 14.0. Works fine on 13.x.

Drag the image into Obsidian editor page

What is the filename exactly?
Is there some weird space right before PM?!?

something like “Screenshot 2023-10-05 at 5.07.05 PM.png”. That’s the standard macOS screenshot filename.

I have to emphasize that it works on macOS 13.x but not on 14.0. The filename looks the same, though.

I just found out that if I replace the spaces in the filename to something else, the image can be imported correctly. Please fix this.
