Just checked my KDE settings for "Land/Region & Sprache" ("Land/Region & Language").
Seems that kmail can only use placeholders for date that are defined in the local KDE settings. Rechecking that I could solve the additional dot bug, but still ddd gives me "Mo" instead of "Mon".
I wonder if ddd is simply meant do display the short name of the day (word, not numbers) whereas dddd gives the full name of the day.
> According to the quickhelp for the shortcuts... > ddd should result in a three letter shortcut of the day This is a misinterpretation. The quickhelp just gives an example. The meaning is: you get an abbreviated string of the day name. I'm pretty sure not every language can guarantee a 3 letter abbreviation (think: chinese, ...) Qt uses the definitions from http://cldr.unicode.org In the Qt sources there is the file locale.xml, and for e.g. Germany it includes: <shortDays>So.;Mo.;Di.;Mi.;Do.;Fr.;Sa.;</shortDays> |
Version: 1.12.4 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-6.slh.4-sidux-amd64 - Open kmail settings. - select "Erscheinungsbild" ("Appearance") - open tab "Nachrichtenliste" ("Messagelist"). I am using a userdefinded format for the date settings: ddd., dd.MM.yyyy - hh:mm'h' According to the quickhelp for the shortcuts... ddd should result in a three letter shortcut of the day, but I get a two letter day with an ending dot. So instead of Mon for Monday I get Mo. which is wrong. Additionally, I get an extra dot in the date display, so for the above format code I get (example): Mo.., 01.02.2010 - 06:38h which apart from the day is correct. The messagelist and the preview of a message are affected by this minor bug. Maybe this is related to German localization only.
