Topic: Year Month and Day Display Reversal?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello friends,

I have been searching for an answer for this for ages...
I wish to change the way Virtual displays the date in the history folder from the current YYYY.MM.DD format to DD.MM.YYYY.

E.G. 2012-03-10 to 10-03-2012

I have done a search, had a little look around the registry but nothing.

Anybody have any ideas on this?

Many thanks

Dave

Sorry, this is not currently possible.

The files are named this way to ensure that they are sorted correctly into date order.
 
Canadian date format is different from US date format. He wants to set it to Canadian date format.

It's just the way it's been for years! I am very used to it, so wanted to change it.

Thanks for your replies and help anyway, is there any plans to make this customisable in later versions, would be a nice touch!

Regards,

Dave
 
 
Personally, I have always preferred that naming format. However, to the OP, you can rename them in bulk with a renaming utility like bulkrenameutility.

However, if you do that, the way you are showing, then filles will show up different in the folder, with different years mixed in with the months.
