Description Martin Zbořil 2016-03-20 21:26:22 UTC 
hello, i want to have ISO 8601 based date and time stamps, the new 'simplified' configuration does not support that.

Reproducible: Always




if there is a way around it, i have not yet found that.

We made a deliberate choice to work with whatever Qt provides us, that includes display of date and time. It's not simply a configuration issue, it would need special calls in each application that displays the date or time.

I'll close this bug as it's really nothing we plan to introduce, in fact we moved away from rolling our own locale system, and made our code more compatible with pure Qt. It could perhaps be done in Qt's locale, but in this case, it'd be an upstream bug.
