The format of the date is fully configurable through conversion specifiers in Tools->Preferences->Output->General->Date format. The default conversion spec is %x, which gives the locale's representation. If you are on linux, you can access the conversion specifiers through "man strftime", otherwise you can read them online at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strftime.html In your case, you want either "%e %b %Y" or "%Y-%m-%d". -- Enrico
