--- Comment #305 from Borden <[email protected]> --- My C's pretty rusty, but for all the talk of "Don't blame us, we're just using Qt's locale library," the upstream documentation doesn't corrobortae that excuse: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qlocale.html . The "Public Types" all accept masks - as they should - not country codes. The glibc concept of locales is pretty arbitrary and, frankly, wrong. It should die and be put to a hastened death with extreme prejudice. Notwithstanding ISO, I'm not aware of any country in the world (except for maybe the very insecure ones like North Korea) which state, "Shalt thou print the date in dd-mmm-yyyy. No more. No less. dd-mmm-yyyy shalt be the date format thou shalt use, and the format of the date shalt be dd-mmm-yyyy. dd-mmmm-yyyy shalt thou not write, nor either write thou write dd-mm-yy, excepting that thou then proceed to write dd-mmm-yyyy. mm-dd-yy is right out...." So why don't we use format masks like QLocale and normal people use? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
