MTB_TX 2 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 In Preferences allow users to define their own date formats, or include every imaginable format. I use yyyy-mm-dd extensively and would love to make it my default date format. 2 Link to comment
2 dwmarks 1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Yea, I'd like all dates in the ISO-8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD for the created and modified fields. It sorts properly and is an international standard. Or a way to define the date format at least. Thanks 1 Link to comment
2 sfmike 4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Anyone (esp from Evernote) care to comment? Link to comment
1 notsofast 5 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I also prefer yyyy-mm-dd, because it sorts chronologically. Custom formats would be nice, but so would just adding a few more common ones to the existing list of canned formats. 1 Link to comment
1 Level 5* CalS 5,310 Posted December 7, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted December 7, 2020 To protect myself from the vagaries of developers and OS's I use AutoHotKey for date insertion. Not that complicated and I get what I want. Plus I can automate other repetitive keyboard/mouse tasks using AHK. Reminders being an example in Windows desktop version. FWIW. 2 Link to comment

0 sfmike 4 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I have always been happy with the default date format that Evernote uses for alt-shift-d: 3/3/15 I recently changed computers and reinstalled Evernote and now I am getting a different format: November 24, 2020 I see that Evernote is supposed to use the Windows short date format, however that is not the case for me as my short date format was set to m/d/yyyy and I haven't touched it. Also this new date format doesn't match the Windows long date format in my system either. Also changing either format in Windows has no effect on the Evernote format. Any suggestions? Link to comment
0 sfmike 4 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thanks - I see where that can be done with Autohotkey. I have PowerToys installed, but that doesn't seem to have the same scripting capability. Still, isn't Evernote supposed to honor the Windows date format? If I do the same thing in Word it follows the setting. Is this a bug Evernote? Link to comment

0 sfmike 4 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Can someone at Evernote tell me if ignoring the Windows date format is a feature or a bug? Link to comment
