Inconsistant Date Format

[NN4RB]

New at Log4OM and I am impressed. The date format for a QSO is mm/dd/yyyy, however in the Contest (F8) the Contest start and Contest end have the date format as dd/mm/yyyy. Is this intentional, overlooked, or is there a place to correct this as in date format?

Thanks,
Rick

I suspect that we are obtaining the date for logging the QSO from your computers built in clock so if the computer clock is set to the American format that is what is being used.

Have you tried actually logging a QSO in contest mode because I think that despite the set up windows for a contest start and finish date being in European format that when you actually use it to log you will find that it will log as mm/dd/yyyy

Data are saved in YYYYMMDDhhmmss string format like 20140326102030 to comply with ADIF standard and to avoid issues when importing/exporting data from text files where current international settings are not set and can drive you to make confusion with data.
Date Time Pickers follows your international settings (in Windows Settings form of your OS)
