CDpedia dates gone wild
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:30 pm
Something's very wrong with date formatting. I've searched the forums and it seems that this is not a widespread problem. It seems limited to just me.
I added two CDs today. The Date Added field values for those two CDs report 2012-42-16 and 2012-16-16. How are those for dates?!
In CDpedia, my date formats are yyyy for release and yyyy-mm-d for other dates. In system prefs, I use yyyy-mm-dd for short and medium length dates. Does this mismatch matter? I noticed things going nutty at the beginning of December because I build a smart list each month listing the CDs added in the current month. I also usually keep three or four previous smart lists. November's list worked just fine when I created it at the beginning of that month and it still works fine.
Either I edited the date formats in the interim, or it was a new version of CDpedia. The funny thing is, if I create a smart list, and enter a date, I can go and edit it, and the date has changed.
Any ideas? This one's got me stumped. Whatever the cause, I certainly hope my database isn't messed up....which it certainly appears to be, at least as far as the month and day of the dates go!
