Yes it would be nice if there were better ways to universally solve the problem at that level and this would fix this issue and make every single application conform, not just ones that use Qt's library for this. OS X uses POSIX locales just as Linux does. But just as KDE 4 kept things separate so does OS X. LC_ALL=C generally has no effect on an OS X application, but it does have an effect on grep/etc as would be expected. Although OS X was developed a very long time, I think Apple saw it as necessary to keep these systems separate. It is nice to have a universal standard for all, but the POSIX locale system is too inflexible for this as it is. It has no built-in customisation, only forced conformity. But even so, sometimes applications come with their own way to override locale, even ls. GNU ls has the --time-style argument, like so: --time-style="+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
