I agree. This should not happen, but here is my original code:
-(NSString*)formattedDate:(NSDate*)aDate{
NSDateFormatter * formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"];
NSString * dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:aDate];
return [self stringWithSentenceCapitalization:dateString];
}
and it produces the incorrect format.
It is called like this:
[weathervane formattedDate:[timer fireDate]];
[timer fireDate]
returns a date in this format:
2012-04-20 18:23:43 +0000
I've also rebuilt the revision of the source for the old build that I have and
it produces the same flawed results.
In any case, I'll edit the global prefs and see if it makes a difference. I
really hope that I made an error somewhere. Thats a problem I can fix.
