date syntax dm:YYMMDD

[nod5]

Add support for date syntax dm:YYMMDD , that is year-month-day with two digits for each segment.
For example the date 2022-11-23 is 221123 in the YYMMDD format.
Existing 1.5 date syntax supports

YYYYMM[DD[Thh[mm[ss[.sss]]]]]

and I don't suggest removing that. Instead add a setting that toggles interpreting dm:<6 digits> as dm:YYMMDD or dm:YYYYMM.

YYMMDD is shorter to type, takes less screen space and for many situations there is no practical need for the extra two digits in YYYY.

Since YYYYMM is not valid ISO 8601, I will look into supporting the still often used YYMMDD input format.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Everything 1.5.0.1330a adds support for YYMMDD date input format.

does this new "YYMMDD" is a supported input format for the "set file time" dialog window in the pic below ??





can i just enter the "YYMMDD" date value, so everything just write the new date value but keep the existing time value preserved in the file ??

[void]

The next alpha update will support YYMMDD for custom date/times when setting the file time.


For now, please use ISO 8601.

For example:

2022-11-25



I will consider an option to preserve the current time.

Thank you for the suggestions.
