I can't confirm that behaviour.
Can you provide exact steps and/or a screencast etc.

That's correct for EN_us, but not for EN_gb.

Should not be too hard for me to make it use the system format...

Edit: Fixed in version 0.7-8 (extras-devel repo)

That reminds me, I absolutely hate how Nokia hard-coded Date and number formats to region.

I absolutely despise America's *****ic mm/dd/yyyy format. And I personally think the whole world ought to switch to yyyy.mm.dd format for everything.

Anyway, good fix (and I am pleasantly surprised to see that FileBox is getting random updates from random folks).

FileBox is truly great tool to handle files and all stuff that comes along with it. But I think would be the best if one or team of great minds could work on it, it's always better to have one update once in a while, instead louds small updates every week or so.

Thank you for a superb app. I wish for an option to run two instances, is it even possible? Open new window and or just start the app twice.

Edit:
I forgot; I cannot find a way to make bookmarks.

I've never seen that format anywhere. Who uses it?

Personally I don't mind mm.dd.yyyy but prefer dd.mm.yyyy

Indeed I don't see the yyyy-mm-dd anywhere but that could be me :P Just like you I finde the dd-mm-yyyy the most convenient to use

i use it in filenames. its really handy for sorting files both alphabetically and chronologically at the same time.

There should be a search feature and an "Open with" option too.
That would make it a complete file browser

True!
--edit2
Or maybe better yyyy-mm-dd. as this is more unique.
--edit2 off

--edit
cannot withstand to say that also Germans should switch from saying to numbers, e.g. 46
6-und-vierzig (deutsch)
but
vierzig-sechs (international)
like a lot of other countries (okay, except France

)
--edit off

Quite a lot of programmers for logging and sorting purposes.

And who tells you the format, if you get 05.07.2012?
Is it 5th of July? As a lot german, european would say.
Or 7th of May? As american/asians would say.

But it is totally OT, and we should not continue this here ...
