I am having a problem with the GTDAlt date picker. The date inserted does not correspond to the date entered. So entering 12/03/2007 gives me 2007-03-11. And entering 31/05/2007 gives me 2007-05-29.
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this here. Also in my case, I have to enter the month first. But perhaps it's related to my answer to the following question.
While on the topic of the date picker a small issue about the UI. Dates are entered day month year. I think it should be year month day for two reasons:
The format is not in my control. I use the DatePicker object, which the system handles. The way dates appear in it is set in System Preferences -> International -> Format. What is the Region setting there in your case? Do your problems go away if you set the Region to United States?
- That way it is consistent with what is entered in the file.
- The date picker defaults to the current date which is now
February. Helpfully it doesn't allow you to pick a day not in that month. So to enter in 31/05/2007 I first had to tab ahead to change the month before entering the day (since there are not 31 days in February). The year month day format would avoid this problem.
Thanks.
All the best, Mark
