Test Kit
This one is a spin off from "Bug 91067 - Tooltip in Windows Files Explorer
shows modified date of OOo files in fixed format M/d/yyyy"
Discussed behavior has been observed first by Edwin Sharp in
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=91067#c19>
I did tests with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Beta – German UI / German
locale - [AOO410m14(Build:9760) - Rev. 1573601
2014-03-03 17:47:48]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user
profile; also French UI / French locale.
You can do your own research with attached test kit with documents,
screenshots, ...
Facts:
(a) WIN7 Files Explorer shows tooltips with date of modification
(a1) for most documents my locale default format dd.mm.yyyy is used for the
date formatting
(a3) For LibO and AOO documents file format in tooltip is ISO 8601 yyyy-mm-dd.
(a31) Date and Date contents is taken from <dc:date> (ODF V. 1.2 Part 1
4.3.2.10).
I did a test, changes in that parameter of meta.xml change date shown
in WIN Files Explorer Tooltip
(a32) I did not understand info concerning date format in <dc:date>
in ODF V. 1.2
(b) I created 2 documents with minimum text after I had changed all
Language settings from de to fr. Date format did not change
(d1) WIN files explorer did not show date of creation for newly created empty
AOO documents, what do not contain <dc:date> information
(d2) WIN files explorer did show date for newly created empty documents from
othr software (except LibO)
Thoughts
(c) WIN would be free to show date info from document in any different format,
so I believe current behavior is intended, not a bug
(d) Observations might be related to
"Bug 44257 - Save metadata in html/xhtml files using Dublin Core ", so
<dc:date> format in meta.xml seems intended
(e) Current behavior might have started with OOo 3, for OOo 2 WIN Files
Explorer tooltips shown with dd.mm.yyyy. My skills are not sufficient
to find out what the different might be causing that difference in
format.
My resume: Not a bug, intended; but might worry users
