'Change timestamp' dialog: Various issues

Thank you, Pierre, for the new layout of the dialog "Change timestamp".

There are some minor issues, though:

= Delta Days and Delta Hours not greyed out
When choosing first option "Variable" and then choosing "Current date and time", the fields "Delta day" and "Delta time" remain active (but should be greyed out).

= Standard: Date format
Currently the date format used for displaying the current value and the new value uses English notation and seconds are missting. Instead, the standard date format set in MS Windows should be used.

= Disabling of "Apply" button
When unchecking all fields in "Change", the "Apply" button should be greyed out.

= Arrow for all changed fields
This one might need discussing:
Currently, there is a text-based arrow ==> inbetween the current value and the new value.
I would find it more intuitive and meaningfull if each single value (File Date created, File Date modified, ...) had it's own arrow. The arrow and the new value would be only visible if the appropriate checkbox is checked.

Right, I agree.

Strange. On my PC the German date format is set, but the current and new values displayed are in English notation, i.e. 11/21/2007. Could you please check? Can someone confirm?

And in browser detail mode, you have good date?

I can't confirm this, all values are correct (i.e. 22/11/2007).

Window XP English version SP2, Slovak regional and language options, Xnview 1.92 beta 2.

No, sorry, for this point I can not confirm too.
The displayed date is correct : 21/11/2007
( also correct in detail mode : \View\View as \ details \... )
(Under windows 98 )

Hmm, perhaps the screenshot explains the problem. As you can see in the screenshot, the date format in the browser is "dd.mm.yyyy hh:nn:ss". And in the "Change timestamp" dialog it is "dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn".
In the "Change timestamp" dialog it should be also "dd.mm.yyyy hh:nn:ss".

Hello Helmut,
Thanks for the screen shot (very often, a picture is worth a thousand words),
I have this format for both : dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn (in the browser & in the "Change timestamp" )

Helmut, you said:

But on your screenshot is "20/11/2006" - so the order dd/mm is correct, I thought it's vice versa, but I have all values same as on your screenshot. So you mean only the format should be dd.mm.yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy ?? :?

Oh - so you mean the seconds are missing??

Right, my previous description was wrong. The order of the values is correct, but the dots "." should be used for the German format. And the seconds are missing.
