[Bug 121622] New: Default date format not fetched from OS

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121622

            Bug ID: 121622
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Default date format not fetched from OS
    Classification: Test
           Product: *Testproduct
           Version: OOo 3.3 RC10
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: another
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: mhakman@dkab.net

Default date format is not fetched from operating system default. Default date
format seems to be hardcoded into a particular version and language of
OpenOffice. It should be fetched from operating system language & format
settings.

This is as designed. Locale data is located in xml files under

main/i18npool/source/localedata/data

I guess this is not a bug, but a request for enhancement.

This is about date format in spreadsheet. I tested this in 2 OO versions and 2
OS. I get following results:

OO 3.3.0 for Win Swedish - yyyy-mm-dd
OO 3.3.0 for OSX Swedish - mm/dd/yyyy
OO 3.4.1 For OSX English - mm/dd/yyyy

This is independent of what date format I set in Control Panel/System
Preferences. OO ignores these settings. I think it should not, it should use OS
settings for dates (and numbers). This way the user has only to set these
formats once at the OS level. This is how Microsoft Office does it. Thanks.

Could you be more specific.  Are you talking about dates formats in spreadsheet
cells?  In word processor page headers?  Where exactly are you seeing this?

Also, could you confirm what version of OpenOffice you are using and on what
operating system (and version).

Thanks!
