Hi all, today I did some searching and I am not sure in how far this would be a 'good' workaround. I hope someone can comment on this!
So I searched for Evolution 24h time format setting bug. There are quite a few out there on launchpad [1] and on gnome bugs [2] as well. But from what I read this problem has been around for quite a while and is still not fixed. I am not a programmer but it seemed to me the programmer 'blamed' it always on something else. Anyway my Evolution gives me 12h time formats although everything else on my system is set to 24h (even the Evolution calendar). From reading the bugs I understand that it has to do with the local settings and in how far the programs respect them. As you might assume my locals are en_AU $ locale LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ALL= As a workaround I can start Evolution from the commandline with $ export LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 && evolution and the mails are listed in 24h format. Now my question!? can I simply put the above command into my evolution button? or will this break stuff? Or maybe there is another solution...
