Date and recursive Diff

Post by Xavier » Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:33 am

Hello,

would it be possible to have the dates being displayed using the local settings. It's very disturbing to have month/day in the reverse order I'm used to...

Would it be possible also to have the recursive diff use the current directory, rather than creating a temporary one. Using beyond compare, it's very easy to merge, delete removed files... but it's useless as a temporary directory is used.

Regards

The SOS client should use the language/number settings that are configured in Control Panel->Regional and language options. Check your configuration in the Date/Time section.

We'll log a feature request to use the working directory for recursive diff operations.

Please find attached two screen shots.
As you can see, the date is displayed in the wrong format.
I use an english Windows XP, but have the locale set to french.

Click the "Customize" button in the Regional optioins tab and make sure the date settings there are correct as well.

Hello,

in fact this is the advanced page that matters. It's not related to date format, but I checked twice... very strange. However the following page what set to english and used english format, it's now in french. May be you don't check the right parameter ?
Anyway it seems to be OK now.

Thanks

Xavier
