entering inactive timestamp "7.2.12" results in [2012-03-16 Fr]

[Rainer Stengele]

Hi all,

Entering "7.2.12" as an incative timestamp (C-c !)

I get [2012-03-16 Fr].

Entering "7.2.2012" results in [2012-02-07 Di].

I have german settings in my emacs.
Is there a chance to get wanted behaviour?

"dd.mm.yy" seems to be a standard calendar date format.

You could try customising `calendar-date-style'.

Hi Ali,

I already have european style configured but that does not accept dd.mm.yy
Seems I have to stick with dd.mm.yyyy - no major problem, I just thought this could be configured a little bit more detailled.

Thanks,
Rainer

I think its not possible, from org.el:

#v+
  (defconst org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M>")
    "Formats for `format-time-string' which are used for time stamps.
It is not recommended to change this constant.")
#v-


One solution is to customize `org-time-stamp-custom-formats'.

Use `#+STARTUP: customtime' in your file or/and set
`org-display-custom-times' to `t'. Hm, and you should read this
<http://orgmode.org/manual/Custom-time-format.html>.
