I'm in the UK and my data preferences are set in System Prefs for the UK norm, i.e. DD/MM/YY

iGTD is not respecting this. When dates are entered into Start or Due, they are read as being in US format, i.e. 12/7 is read as 7th Dec rather than 12th July. Bizarrely, the date is then correctly formated in the UK style, so I type 12/7 and end with with 7/12 being displayed.

I just downloaded iGTD 1.4.5.1 and it was literally the first thing I noticed when inputting my first task! I can't find anywhere where it is changeable from within iGTD and unfortunately it's an absolute show-stopper for me. I just don't want to have to battle with remembering to input dates in what for me and my 35 years of writing dates is backwards.

Can we have an application-wide date format picker please? Or better yet, can you use the system date format? Please, PLEASE?

Hi mrkwr and woodgie, welcome to the iGTD community! Good bug description, and I've added it to the ::KNOWN BUGS SUMMARY for v1.4.x:: as C14.

Excellent, thank you!

As soon as it gets fixed iGTD gets used for my own consulting projects as well as being recommended to clients, which should then result in donations

Hi,

I'm also UK based and using the abovementioned format. However, I find a good current workaround by typing in dd mmm, as in 1 jul for July 1st, 23 sep for September 23rd.

I find it's in practice almost just as fast as typing in 1/7 or 23/9.

Also, typing 1 jan 08 gets picked up nicely as 1/1/2008.

Works for me...

I never even tried that! I shall try it now and see how well it goes, I think however that it'll be fine!

Thank you very very much (but I still would like to make iGTD use 'proper' dates )
