Libreoffice is driving me nuts.
I am in Canada. UI is set to English US; Locale settings to English
Canada and Default Currency is CAD.
I have my Mac set dates to dd.mm.yyyy. (OSX 10.9.x)
For some reason Libreoffice (4.3.1.2) will only accept dates in the
YYYY-MM-DD format.
I'm happy that I can format the date to look DD.MM.YYYY but entering in
the YYYY-MM-DD is totally unnatural for me.
Actually, I only usually type the DD.MM and expect the YYYY to show up
automatically in Excel. I'd like the same behaviour in LO if possible.
The date acceptance patterns will not accept anything except what is
loaded by default ... which is
D.M.YYYY;DD-MM-YYYY;D-M
I don't want to have to type the YYYY each time for D.M.YYYY.
I've tried to add D.M to the acceptance pattern but the text turns red
and won't save. The D.M is always gone after trying to save.
So if the date acceptance patterns are supposed to be customizable by
the user ...
what do I have to do to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
