PM/AM

Post by hansmex »

Emmanuel,

The little Latin I remember from school includes that AM = ante meridiem = before midday, and PM = post meridiem = after midday. In version 3.1 you added the sun and moon symbol to help distinguish between the two, but I think they have been added the wrong way around.

Also, for us Europeans (and other educated people that can count beyond 12), can we, please-please, have a 12/24 hr clock option added in the Preferences?

As weird as it looks, 12:00 PM is noon and 12:00 AM is midnight, so fortunately, there's no bug. [:)]
As for the 12/24 hour preferences option, I didn't forget it but I don't add new words in the user interface of the program in maintenance versions to avoid updating the 16 available translations of Sweet Home 3D. To be sincere, I would also prefer to avoid such an option. As I can detect easily the user country, I think I'll simply use the 12-hour notation only for the countries who use it.

Hans, the picture doesn't appear. [:(]

GMT displayed values and used values are actually opposite! Don't know why this notation is done this way. As it's really confusing, I should fix that.
If you choose Asia/Karachi time, it's ok.
