Release Date drops day

Post by jenv »

If I input "05 Mar 1971" into the Release field, it drops the "05". That doesn't seem right. This information is saved if entered into the Original Release Date field. Also, shouldn't both fields have "Date" in their names, or both not have "Date", just to be consistent?

You can change the date format in the Preferences/General. "05 Mar 1971" would be the format "%d %b %Y". You can click the little question mark button in the Preferences to see all the available date format options.
And thanks for pointing out that inconsistency with 'Release' and 'Original Release Date'. We'll fix that for the future. (Probably dropping the Date from Original Release since it's just 'Release' in all of the Pedias.)

Thanks! Interestingly, CDpedia doesn't redisplay with the new dates when you change formats, I have to restart it in order to see the changes I've made to the date format.
