Re: 12 hr vs 24 hr time display

Sandor, just to let you know, all I did was go into the Date & Time System Preference, and do the following: Set the Time options to - Use a 24 hour clock - Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist - Copy and paste the contents into the email. Set the

Re: 12 hr vs 24 hr time display

Alex, This is interesting, and thanks for digging it up. Using this plist it appears that I could use [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] addSuiteNamed:@"com.apple.menuextra.clock"] and access this data with the key 'DateFormat'. I'm not sure I want to do this. I expect there is a

OK. All that NSLocale stuff seemed like "The right way to do it™" but… Let's see if this gets you what you want. Read this file: ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist And you'll see… http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd;> EEE h:mm Or

In that case, see if a call like this would work for you in all supported locales: Objective-C formattedDate = [NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:date dateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle timeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle]; or: Swift let formattedDate =

Re: 12 hr vs 24 hr time display

What I’m getting at is how relevant is it to your app that you know if and where the time-of-day indicators exist in addition to the 24-hour setting. Answering those questions should be what determines your next steps. As mentioned, the alarm clock has a long history on the Mac whereas the

Re: 12 hr vs 24 hr time display

Is there a problem with using +[NSDateFormatter localizedStringFromDate:dateStyle:timeStyle:]? Depending on your needs, you might also consider +[NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar]. A user typically “sets” their region settings when they set up their Mac, and the choice of 12/24 hour

In the Date & Time preference panel, I assume that you're referring to the option on the Clock tab. If so, those settings refer only to the menubar clock display. If you notice in that same preference panel, on the Date & Time tab, there is a message at the bottom that says, "To set date and

12 hr vs 24 hr time display

I am working on a small application where the primary function is to display the time to the user. My hope was to honor the user's preference setting. I am either missing something or honoring the user's preference is harder than expected. So, there are two places to set 24 hr time display.
