Hi
When looking in the Archive, MPE unfortunately uses some strange date format presenting e.g. the 12th og september as 2006-12-09 where in fact it would be much nicer if the format were YYYY-MM-DD, 2006-12-09 which is in fact an ISO standard. The format MPE uses can be misread as the 9th of December.
This unfortunate format also means that SMS are notsorted by date chronologically
It also uses terms like Yesterday and Today which makes sorting even more difficult.
I have, of course, set all time options in XP as I possibly could.
Is there any way of preventing these two date and time presentations and have *all* datetimes presented YYYY-MM-DD (all numbers)?
Regards! |

Ohh even worse - MPE sometimes stores the 11th of September as:
2006-09-11
OR
2006-11-09
I use the same Archive shared on two different computers. It is probably due to different time settings on the two.
I suggest MPE completely disregards the computer's time setting and stores the dates in its own format, preferably Epoch.
My question about Today/YEsterday remains, though. |

I will think about a standard-format for message archive. Today, Yesterday is no problem - the listsort should be correct also with this values. |

Sounds very good with a standard format!
Right now I'm battling with lots of SMS sent and received 2006-08-09
Incoming SMS is of course no problembut sent ones need furter scrutinizing.
Today/Yesterday *do* give me problems.
When entering the Archive and I sort by Date, it shows me SMS from 2006-12-09 (four days ago) and Yesterday comes after 2006-10-08 and then comes 2006-09-14 :-/
Very odd! |

The Datesorting works very well - on my machine. I think either you have set on your PC a very specivic dateformat - so also the problem with the timestamp raises from here. The funny thing is - there are thousands of users which use MPE on machines with a dateformat like YYYY-MM-DD and nobody told me that there is a bug or wrong sort in lists.
Please check this first before i look into the sourcecode. |

Hi
Part of the problem is solved now.
I entered the config and manually corrected all the wrong dates, eg. 2006-12-09 into 2006-09-12.
This was the reason why Today/Yesterday did not sort correctly as the computer of course knew that Today/Yesterday came before the 9th of December and showed them first.
So, since you decided to take up the task of an unmistakeable timeformat, I guess this thread can be closed.
Thanks for helping out. |
