Hi Martin

This has probably been asked before but I am unable to find it doing a search, but when saving a box file Templot adds the date and time which is ok except that it is in the American format of Year, Month, Day can this be changed to the good old fashioned English method of Day, Month Year.

 

Cheers Phil :)

Sorry, mis-read the first message - please keep year-month-day for the reasons already stated.

(I erroneously thought you meant the american month-day-year format which drives me potty!)

I think you'll find that year,month,day is the International standard (due in part to avoid confusion between American and English formats!).

Year-Month-Day means that the files are kept in chronological order in the default Windows "Sort by filename" system.

Hi Peter,

You don't need to vote. That's how it is now and always has been. :)

Plus hour/minute/second.

This means that when sorted alphabetically, the files for each project are also in date order.

regards,

Martin.
