[Bug 1892859] Re: short date is not sent through to app in playinlinux
Turns out this is the version of wine causing the issue, I have logged a bug at https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49827 As far as Ubuntu goes, is it worth setting the default version of wine back to 3.x or are the new features more important than a date? Anyone doing any accounting or other date related things in wine that is not in the en_US locale (anything but MM/dd/yyy) is going to have massive issues with it. ** Bug watch added: Wine Bugzilla #49827 https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49827 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892859 Title: short date is not sent through to app in playinlinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/playonlinux/+bug/1892859/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1892859] Re: short date is not sent through to app in playinlinux
** Description changed: I had Ubuntu 20.04 installed and was using MYOB in Playonlinux to do my accounting and it all ran fine. I had a number of issues in Ubuntu (screens and stability mostly) and when it refused to boot one day and Ubuntu 20.04.1 had just been released, I decided to install it instead. Fixed all my Ubuntu issues, but then had some weird issues in MYOB. The main one is that the date format is MM/d/yy, where in Australia it should be dd/MM/yy. I researched MYOB (this in MYOB 19) and found it gets the date format from the Windows short date. Looking into the date format in wine, I went into the registry setting - for short date, but it was set correctly (not sure, but this may come - from Ubuntu?), so it seems that is not being sent through. I tried - different versions of Wine, but in the end did a total reinstall of - Ubuntu and still had the same issue. So not sure if this is something - that changed in Ubuntu 20.04 > 20.04.1 or if its a different version of - playinlinux and the one in 20.04.1 repository (used the default one in - the repo) has a bug or if its something to do with Wine. + (see answer at https://askubuntu.com/questions/474900/change-date- + format-for-wine-windows-software) for short date, but it was set + correctly (not sure, but this may come from Ubuntu?), so it seems that + is not being sent through.
