I belive that the format follows whatever your locale sets (my mail summary pane shows times using a 24 hour clock). Typing locale at a terminal and looking at the LC_TIME= row tells you what it is currently set to. However the setting you altered was for Calendar and Tasks (not email)... Tampering with how dates and times etc. are shown to the user ideally needs to be a single GNOME-wide setting (for those cases where the user doesn't want to follow their locale). Might be related to http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5137 (Configurable date formats in components) - evo2 requests appear to be dup'd against it. You seem to be right about LC_TIME. If I start evolution as follows: LC_TIME="nl_BE"; evolution then the time is shown in 24-hour format. But the fact remains that this is not very consistent. I agree with you that a single GNOME-wide setting would be a good solution. Peter: Is this still here in FC5? If so you might want to update the version of this bug... I don't know, because I haven't upgraded to FC5 yet (I plan to do so in a month or so). It is definitely there in FC4. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! I've tested it in FC6 test 2 (using evolution 2.7.4-4), and it still has the same problem. I've updated the Version info Attempting to get this out of NEEDINFO... Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] Still the same behaviour in FC6 (evolution-2.8.3-1.fc6) Thanks for the update. This is probably more likely to get action if moved upstream.... The "Calendar and Tasks" setting is only for calendars and tasks. Sitsofe is correct in comment #2 that email times are formatted according to your current locale. Since this is by design I'm closing this as NOTABUG. If you still feel this is a design flaw, you can file a bug upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: You can set the time format (12 hour or 24 hour) via Tools->Settings...->Calendar and Tasks->Time format. However, the email summary pane keeps showing the Date when an email arrived using the AM/PM format when the time format is set to 24 hour. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.0.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Tools->Settings...->Calendar and Tasks 2. Set Time format to '24 hour' and click 'Close' 3. Go back to the email summary pane. Actual Results: The Dates of emails are shown using AM/PM format, e.g. 5:11 PM. Expected Results: The Dates of emails should be shown using 24 hour format, i.e. 17:11. Additional info:
