That would be easy to do (a 'Today' button)... however we need to decide about the format for the date. strftime only does the locale 'numeric' format for the locale (%x) which is ambiguous (01/02/2013 is january 2 or february 1?) I only can think of: 1) Some fixed format like it was before (like %d %b %Y, which has localized month names) or ISO format (%Y-%m-%d) 2) Fetch the locale preferred format strings and use it (only in wx2.9) 3) A user configured format string from the preferences (more work to do, and have to find a good place for configuring it in both eeschema/pcbnew) A good compromise would be 2) falling back to 1) on wx2.8. 3) could be useful but completely user-unfriendly (raise your hand if you ever seen one common user which knows strftime formats) We only have to choose how to handle this.... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
