Public bug reported: Binary package hint: f-spot
* Ubuntu 9.04 * f-spot 0.5.0.3, * European (da_dk) locale The f-spot date field is ambigious (ie. it can have more than one meaning). In the sidebar it is written as nn/nn/nnnn which could mean dd/mm/yyyy (as expected in Europe, S.E. Asia, Australasia, S. America, Russian Federation etc.) or it could mean mm/dd/yyyy (as users in USA expect and f-spot provides). This is a real problem for half the world. Even in the 'Adjust Time' tool of f-spot there is ambiguity. The date is shown both in mm/dd/yyyy format and yyyy-mm-dd (the added calendar helps clarify). All these differences are just bad for the user experience, and in this case erode trust in the application and can mess up peoples EXIF data. (A worldwide standard would solve this, but this is another story you can read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#Date_format ) ** Affects: f-spot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- f-spot date field is ambigious (and wrong for much of the world) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to f-spot in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
