date displays only 2 digits in Synchronize Directory view

[KlausB]

I am using TC 8.01 (but it was the same on privious versions) on Win7 64bit

My prefered date format is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm (but it happens on DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm as well!

In TC normal view everything is ok. but when calling - Commands - Synchonize Dirs... - and pressing <Compare> the year of the compared files is displayed only with 2-digits.

Sorry, the sync tool doesn't support 4 digit years because of the limited screen space.

One could argue that 640x480 and the likes are history for quite some time. :) IMHO the smallest resolution anyone uses today for anything remotely serious would be 1024xsomething. I do myself sometimes and even at that - by today's standards tiny resolution - it would have no problem accomodating four extra digits.

sorry sir - we live in 2013.

And even if someone would use an old Win95 or W2k0 PC he would have newer screens and video graphics adapter which allow a higher resolution.

In addition it would be possible to reduce the general format to YY-MM-DD

And if I use such an old PC I would not install the newest version of any software.

I would suggest to use system's Short Date Format in this case. People having small monitors will set YYMMDD or whatever in their systems. Others will set YYYY-MM-DD in theirs. On 1920 resolution I have more space than I need
