I am using Mojave 10.14.1 (updated) and I have a script that creates a tar file of my work directory.
The name of the resulting tgz file is created from a timestamp and some strings. Once run, the
script properly creates the archive file, and according to 'ls' in a terminal session, the name is
being set correctly, but in the finder it it being displayed differently.
In the terminal session 'ls -l Sites-*' shows this:
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug staff 7339538 Nov 25 07:03 Sites-2018-11-25-07:03.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug staff 7339698 Nov 25 07:48 Sites-2018-11-25-07:48.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug staff 7339695 Nov 25 11:06 Sites-2018-11-25-11:06.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 doug staff 7339369 Nov 25 11:20 Sites-2018-11-25-11:20-bsf.tgz
In the finder, the time portion of the filename, which s/b hh:mm is being
displayed in the finder as mm/ss. Very weird.
This looks like a finder bug to me. I don't think a colon is forbidden ina filename,
but a forward slash is certainly a problem in certain contexts. FYI
