Hello, The yearly event date format is confusing - if I enter 05-04 then there is no way to tell if this is 04-May or 05-Apr (in fact the program stores the date in US format MM-DD). Entering "05 Apr" will change the date to "2010-04-05" but I'm not sure the annual notifications will work after that? It will be better if the date is shown as DD-MMM, or MMM-DD (or even better if there would be an option to choose the format). Thanks, George.
You're right, these dates with a missing year are a bit of a hack. I could probably do a quick partial fix that would display the date as "DD-MMM" (since they are stored as two fields: month and day). However, I'm not sure what to do about the user input format. Right now, if I detect 4 digits with a dash in the middle, I just treat it as MM-DD and otherwise pass the whole string to the full date parser (which adds the current year automatically). Cheers, Francois
