General - date/time - unify variable characters

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.7.2 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

General - Date/Time
two different character notations are used for date/time variables: single-letter and ISO 8601 (correlation), which is inconvenient

Suggestion

  • use variable characters from ISO 8601
    single-letter characters are good for long scripts, but for infrequent manual input, multi-letter characters are more suitable, as they are more common (windows, office), user friendly (much easier to remember/read)
    • maybe add more characters
      - W/WW - week
      - t/tt - time marker (AM/PM)


Example
  • windows
