It states that the ParseDate function errors out on OSX when the
international settings of the system are mixed, ie. Primary language
"English", regional settings (including date) "Belgium".
This seems to indicate that the function does NOT look at the date
settings , contrary to what is stated in the LR.
When the system is set this way and you feed parsedate a European
date format as "31/07/2006" the function returns false. Feed it
"07/31/2006" and the function returns True (and a Date)
Change the system to Dutch (Belgian) and the parsedate will return
true for "31/07/2006". So the moment the language is aligned with
the regional settings the function works as expected.
This is (to me at least) a very nasty bug, since the majority of my
clients work with this international setting (3 official languages in
Belgium, so a company easily standardises on English but is keeping
the regional date setting)
So please sign on
