Upgrade Storagetwo-item date interpreted as day and year instead of month and year (2)
I am still experiencing the previously reported behaviour in v2.1.7:
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/17536/%3FFocus%3D89459
e.g. 02/2007 or 2/2007 is parsed as (y d) and it is pinned at Dec 2006 on the timeline.
The issue was excepted as bug and it was called fixed in v2.1.6.
Should I supply any other information?
Cheers

general.useragent.locale;en-GB
Windows 7, original German localisation, extended to Ultimate
from Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Region and Language:
Format: German (Germany)
Location: Germany
Display language: English
Language for non-unicode programs: English (United Kingdom)
When the Format was changed to English (United States), the behaviour of Zotero regarding the date parsing remained the same even after the reboot.
Anything else I can try?
general.useragent.locale;en-GB
new:
general.useragent.locale;en-US
Zotero parses as awaited according to the fix (02/2007 -> y m) after a
restart of FF.
From curiosity I tried other locale settings
new:
general.useragent.locale;de-DE
and again 02/2007 is parsed to J T (= Jahr Tag = year day) after restart
of FF. (<- not according the bugfix)
new:
general.useragent.locale;eng according to its definition at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/General.useragent.locale#Has_an_effect_in and
the table of codes at http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html
and the MM/YYYY date is parsed to (y d) again. This is a surprise,
because this is the only correct definition of the English locale
according to ISO.
My conclusion: the fix works for locale "en-US", but it is not guaranteed
that it will work for any other.
For now, I am staying with en-US, it seem it does not have any
side-effect for now. Thank you, Dan. But, I suppose this is not a global fix...
Cheers,
Zotero parses two-number dates (MM/YYYY) to year and month for general.useragent.locale=de-DE and en-GB. (Issue fixed) Thank you!
Cheers,
