It appears that the user's preferences are ignored in the Edit Record
screen, where the US date and time formats are always used. I assume
this is an oversight, since the user's date and time format
preferences are honored elsewhere in the program.
I would suggest that the List views should use the short rather than
the long format however, since the list view is usually cramped for
space.
Finally, I think I would like a different layout of the Edit Time
popup. The current one takes too many stylus presses to set any given
time. I would much prefer a variant of the dialog used in DateBk4.
Basically, you have four tall columns of numbers to chose from. The
first two would let you chose the hour with a single press of the
stylus. The first column has the hours 00-11, and the second 12-23
(or both would have the hours 12-11, with the headings am and pm for
those with such preferences). The third and fourth column would let
you pick the minute. For example, one column 00-10-20-30-40-50 for
the ten minute period, and one column for the last digit. Thus you
can pick any time with at most three stylus presses.
The DateBk4 layout is somewhat different from this description, but I
think that is dictated by the needs of that particular application and
not necessarily something to be copied.
I apologize for not bringing this up earlier, but I just now got
around to picking up a new release with the date and time fields
included.
