Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97818
WIN Explorer Tooltip shows "T" as separator between Date and time instead of Blank
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:01:12 UTC
Using OOo 3.0 (fr) on Windows XP systems. When hovering the icon of an OpenDocument (text)file, a tooltip appears, showing file information : - type - title - author - Mod date&time - size In versions prior to 3.0, date and time were separated with a space. Now there is a "T" between date and time. I find it hard to read. 1) Perhaps that "T" has been willingly added (why?) 2) Perhaps due to native-lang fr ? I join an screenshot of the tooltip.
Created attachment 59200 [details] The tooltip under Windows XP
No T in Win 7, just space Rev. 1479897
I can reproduce reporter's observations, also see Screenshots in Attachment 82818 [details] for Bug 124380. The "T" seems to be from <dc:date> parameter in meta.xml of documents. When I modify the date in <dc:date> in meta.xml and replace the "T" by a space, tooltip will show space. But currently I think (but do not know) that current <dc:date> contents is correct. But I think it's unclear in tooltip, a blnak would be a much better separation between date and time. I am a litle worried about Comment 2, but who can know what document Edwin tested? The view in Tooltip is related to the document, not to the installed AOO version. Not an issue for now, but please feel free to reopen this Bug if you see indications that Date in meta.xml is wrong for some standard.
iso8601_date_to_local_date function converts date and time having 19 characters to local date and time stored in meta.xml file of ODF file. For example, 2014-01-21T21:35:44 is OK but if some sub seconds are stored like the attached image, the function returns the original date in string and it is shown with T separator.
I was mistaken to close this bug.
Created attachment 82819 [details] different files - different tooltips AOO is not consistent. AOO410m14(Build:9760) - Rev. 1573601 2014-03-03 17:47:48 (Mo, 03 Mrz 2014) Win 7
AOO tooltips are the only tooltips which don't follow operating system locale date format - verified in two different laptops Win 7 and Win XP.
Comments 5 to 7 are not related to this bug, but to Bug 124380. So no confirmation here. I have some missing knowledge here concerning iso8601_date_to_local_date function: what is the indicator to use ISO on a German WIN with German AOO (UI and locale)? That format is completely uncommon in Germany, and additionally it seems that sample document <<2014-03-09 09:31 CET, Edwin Sharp>> on a PC with different locale (Enlish? USA?) also shows ISO format, what would not be in accordance to hanya's explications. We will have to discuss that in Bug 124380 Here we should limit discussion to the reported problem concerning the "T" as separator between date and time in ISO format (where ISO format is used appropriately). I haven't a clue for what that "T" should be useful, with a " " as separator is much better readable.
It might be that we are approaching to the core of the problem in "Bug 124380 - WIN Files Explorer in document tooltip shows date of modification as ISO 8601 instead of OS setting date format". It's not intended to show date in tooltip letter for letter: <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124380#c6> With that manipulated document after I change WIN7 Region Date settings to "YYYY-MM-DD", the tooltip will show the <dc:date> date/time in ISO format with a blank between Date and Time instead of the "T"
This one is concerning a side effect of Bug 124380, problem should vanish with fix for Bug 124380 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 124380 ***
Seems I selected wrong OS
