Date field in meta-data -> change MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY?

stroom
The meta-data date-field in my Zotero stand alone is standard MM-DD-YYYY. Meaning that 1-2-1900 will be the first of february. This causes mess-ups since I'm used to DD-MM..

I was able to change to DD-MM-YYYY in the zotero-plugin, but in the standalone version I 'm unable to fix that. Also using the Windows region settings did not help me out.

I expect it must be possible though..

    (ignore the rest of that horrible thread) that's all we have on this.

    Well, the suggestion to ignore did not really work out (I get the picture), but the advice is right on spot. Tnx. I quited using standalone because of this issue, but it seems to work just fine now. Tnx again.
