Incorrect date format

[Petr_S]

Change of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate form "dd.MM.yyyy" to "ddd dd.MM.yyyy" causes change of the displayed date format from "04.01.2026" to "04 01 2026" - dots are missing.

Confirmed.

As a workaround, you can use:

Code: Select all

ddd. dd.MM.yyyy

instead

Ah... I remember the same on some WinPE bootables. Never thought it is TC's bug. Isn't it?

Total Commander does not read the date format directly from the registry. Instead, it calls GetLocaleInfo with parameters LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDATE.

The problem is that Windows sees the space in your sShortDate string and returns that as the date separator.

Solution: Set the date separator manually for Total Commander in menu Configuration - Options - Tabstops/Data formats.
