Description m.wege 2012-08-07 23:02:58 UTC

the timeline feature should be localised
timeline:/today/ "today"-> should be localised
timeline:/2012-08/2012-08-07/ ->the dateformat should also allow the format DD-MM-YYYY
timeline:/2012-08/ ->the dateformat should also allow the format YYYY-DD

May be there are other date formats which also need to be supported.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the bug report.

@Sebastian: Is there a bugzilla product for the timeline kioslave? I couldn't find one.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

The Nepomuk project is no longer included in the KDE Software Compilation. With Plasma 5, we have replaced most of the underlying technology with Baloo and other components. Hopefully this will have addressed your concern.

We encourage you to try out Plasma 5 (+Baloo) and let us know if your problem persists.

Problem remains with baloo.

Is this still a thing? If so it's been around a long time...

I think the question is whether you can "type in" a date in a local format. Navigating to the timeline/calendar views via Dolphin "timeline:/" builds ISO format dates. These work (at least for me :-) and are unambiguous.

I'm tempted to mark this as "Intentional" unless someone has a testcase locale where the navigation breaks.
