I don't understand what is so complicated about it. Once I found it is located in qlocale.cpp in QLocale::dateFormat(FormatType)→QString, I am able to _prefix_ (customize) the behavior of the function in any way I can rationally imagine. For example, it shouldn't be that hard for me to implement per-application (i.e: argv[0]) customization of the FormatType→QString conversion, while having the conversions stored in file "~/.config/by-argv0/qlocale_dateformats.txt". Not that I need it - I am just saying it is doable. Another example: It shouldn't be that hard to enable transient (i.e: time based) customizations of the FormatType→QString conversion. So for example, if I wanted to customize the behavior of the conversion function just in the header/footer when printing a snippet of C++ source code from KDevelop into PDF file, I can customize the result of the function based on the tuple (argv[0]=="kdevelop", time==aboutNow). Another example would be to enable temporary adjustments of the behavior based on function names in the backtrace obtained by running "gdb --pid" or by using libunwind. ---- For a dose of creativity, innovation and imagination see for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwBaeIw8kSQ - Valgelis, the man and his music (1984) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
