--- Comment #22 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #21) > Your idea of a checkbox or two radio buttons ("one option") limits the > request to either locale or ISO. Great! You got it. > But ISO 8601 is just one way to format date/time values, and not only bug > 46448 > asks for more freedom but I can easily think of a use case where people have a > locale of Klingon but want to get date/time values always in a specific > format. Your "I can easily think of a use case" is exactly bug 46448, so it is not "not only bug 46448 asks", but exactly "there is a *related but different bug 46448*". > While this particular request here is limited, the dropdown with all available > formats (plus Automatic or Locale Default) is more flexible and is not > detrimental on usability. So *your* idea is: let us do all or nothing. Let us ignore the normal practice of having *important cases* (like all those specific field types available separately, even though there is a Fields dialog that has them all). Let us ignore the situation where the dev input has been given. Let us imagine a "dropdown with all available formats" (as if your imagined dropdown could truly hold *all* available formats, including my custom "day: "D", month: "MMMM" of year "YYYY)... And finally, your idea is "do not implement something easily doable; better stall forever, waiting for some ideal solution in the undefined future". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
