Anyone else have this date issue with CMP?

[JCitron]

This is a small bug that I have discovered in CMP. When selecting the current date, the program defaults to Day-Month-Year instead of the North American practice of Month-Day-Year. This is obvious when you view the filter because the fields are swapped every time. Yeah, I know we have to be different over here so that makes this a bug for us North American users.

Anyway, as a result when filtering for Today for example, which is great for checking for dependencies on current downloads, the filter doesn't work for dates other than the ones where the current date is the same as the month - as in 08/08/08 works fine, but 08/09/08 becomes 09/08/08 in the filter so that anything downloaded on 08/09/08 won't show up because these items don't exist yet.

It's as though the program goes one way and the system is going another. The system is date-stamping the files in the MM_DD_YY format which is correct, but the program sets the filter to DD_MM_YY.

Now keep in mind that I am running Vista 64-bit so I'm not sure if this has something to do with that, but it's only recently that I started to filter for "today's" content so I'm not sure if it has always been a problem with CMP that I was never aware of or it's a Vista compatibility issue.

Thanks for the help or answer in advance,

John

John, I just downloaded an asset from the DLS into the CMP for TRS2006 and the CMP for TC3. In both cases, when I type in 8-9-2008, the asset shows up.

I’m running Windows XP SP1, however, I also tried it on my laptop running Vista Home premium, and I got the same results. Just thought I’d let you know.

Good luck, Joe

CMP's been that way for quite some time, but seems to skip every other month. Next month it should work correctly for us if it follows the pattern of late.

Thanks for the info guys. Like I said this is a new thing for me since I started using TRS2006 so apparently this has been going on for some time. Hopefully this will be fixed in 2009/x when they are released.

I have both '06 and TC3 installed and this month TC3's CMP is showing the correct (for us) date format. Who knows what'll happen next month.
