Change date format in FlashFXP 5

tee_boss · 12-15-2013, 01:59 PM

Hi,
in FlashFXP 4 I have the date format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (which is the way I want it). But in FlashFXP 5 I get MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM and I can't find any way to change it.

How do I change it to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM?

Thanks!

Welcome to forums.

Thats set by your OS.

What specific build of FlashFXP?

What version of Windows and language locale?

If FlashFXP fails to properly read or parse the OS date format it uses MM/DD/YYY HH:MM as a fallback.

I currently run 5.0.0 build 3699, but the date issue has been the same throughout the beta cycle as far as I can recall (I know it's been there in most builds I've tried, probably all of them but I can't say with absolute certainty).

I run Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit, with SP1) and the locale is set to Swedish (the OS itself is English though).

I also run 4.1.8 build 1701 on the same machine and that displays the correct date format.

In Windows control panel what format are you using for the short date format?

Using the above configuration it looks like this in FlashFXP v5

Thanks for the reply! I am using those exact same settings actually (I guess they're the default for Swedish locale).

But apparently it's not being picked up by FlashFXP 5 on my PC for some reason. I'll install FlashFXP 5 on another PC too (also Win 7 and Swedish locale), and check if it's the same there.

Hi again. I can now confirm that the same problem exists with a fresh install of FlashFXP 5 (build 3699) on another PC, also running an English Windows 7 Home Premium with SP1 (32-bit this time though) with the locale set to Swedish.

So it was not an isolated/local problem on my main laptop.

Please download v5.0 build 3700 and let me know if it resolves the problem, if it doesn't then do this from the main menu > help > about > details tab and copy the info and paste it in your reply. I've added some additional debug info regarding the date/time format.

The new build solved the problem! Thanks a lot!

And Happy Holidays!
