Wrong interpretation of day/date ?

My computer's  date configuration is dd/mm/yyyy.  I want to set up an appointment in Evernote for January, 1st 2012:

##02/01/2012##  and ##02/January/2012## are sync'ed ok and TuskTools Calendar shows it in the correct day.

Any other date format is incorrectly interpreted, for instance:

 ##Jan 02## - appointment goes to February, 2nd

##2 Jan##  - appointment goes to February, 1st

##January 2nd## - - appointment goes to February, 2nd

 

Regards.

  Hi Marcos,

  I was not able to reproduce your issue - in all three of your latter cases, that date interpretation worked correctly in my testing here. 

  Can you post a screenshot of the "Format" tab within your Windows Control Panel "Region and Language" settings dialog?  I want to see if there is a difference between your settings and what I used in my testing of your issue.  Thanks!

  Hi Marcos,

  Thanks for the screenshots. Yes, the issue is related to your regional date settings - TT is not properly parsing the date given the particular formatting you have defined.  I've put this on the list to fix!

  I have two issues:

  1. A suggestion: date interpretation should be done according to a standard, not to system settings. People is not always able to configure every computer they use to match their home computer settings. That means if i use ISO standard at home (yyyy-mm-dd) dates are going to be terribly wrong at office computer with colombian date settings (dd/mm/yyyy) and also wrong if i use it on another computer where they left USA ONES (mm/dd/yyyy (one of the most non-sense date formats ever)).

  2. ##date format## gots deeply confused when all the script files code we placed on our notes. Some scripts use # as comment characters, so some scripts also use ## just to start a comment and make that line looks nicer... so TT got confused and started to convert them into dates :s. Of course this is not the expected result. That thing prevented me to sync with Google Calendar, we don't want to publish our notes on server or code changes on Google...
