UK Date Errors

John666:
Hi, I have found that there seems to be a lot of problems with dates and date conversions.
I assume this is because I am in the UK and we always seem to do things differently here.

Examples of this are:
   I cannot 'duplicate' a record after the 12 of the month, I have to do them before or change my system date first.
   If I change the date in the 'Date Added' field it switches the month and daye before the 13 of the month.
   When I do a filter by date I have to remember to use the american format to make it work properly.

There are more of these but I can't think of them right now.

Thank you in advance.

Is the date format in UK not the same as in Europe??? As I have the German one working pretty well here...

A minor annoyance I'll report now—in case it's somehow related...

[Date Added] includes the time (probably since raldo requested it for [Date Modified] for PvdImport...0.9.9.12). Any attempt to duplicate a record with a [Date Added] that includes the time results in the error...

Duplicate works fine when the time is removed.

I'm not sure what date format is used in Germany, in the UK it is DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss.

I see what you mean about removing the time. It works fine without it.

What about adding/editing dates and filtering?
