Synchronize directories: show 4 digits for year

Post by *StatusQuo »

cm_FileSync only shows 2 digit year, this may be problematic with file dates in the future:
TC claims "01.01.07 is newer than 01.01.20" (if the first is set to 01.01.2107)

It would be nice, if "Synchronize directories" would show 4 digit years -
enough display space seems to be available there.

Future dates can be set either intentionally, by server file system problem or other software failure.

Date should use the same format as defined for main TC window.

Agree, the existing INI option could also be used in Synchronize Directories:
WINCMD.INI, [Configuration] wrote:ShowCentury=1 Show century of the date in the file lists

4-digit year in 'Synchronize directory'

Post by *KlausB »

after years of complains of lots of users still not solved:

we wish a FOUR digit YEAR display in the 'Synchronize directory' window.

I use portable TC on different PCs with different language settings and quite old files: which date is '12-06-05'

Please - Please change it.

Thanks

Yes please. I am missing 4 digit for years. That sentence has dual meaning: I want years written with 4 digits and I have waited years for it to happen.
