ledger-reconcile-default-date-format setting is not respected #408
Comments
Is there any good reason to support different date formats for different areas of functionality? Seems like everyone would be better off if we just used one, but perhaps I'm missing something. |
For reconciling, it might be handy to have ledger display the same date format as, e.g., your online banking website does. Or perhaps it is overly verbose to display the year when reconciling a credit card statement from the last month? I don't know why this variable was introduced in the first place, but that seems like a logical explanation to me—I've never seen a credit card statement that uses ISO8601 :) Part of the confusion, at least for me, is that it's not obvious whether a given "date format" variable is used for output or input, or both. |
Setting
ledger-reconcile-default-date-format
to something different thanledger-default-date-format
seems to have no effect (the dates in reconcilebuffers still look like the latter). It looks like the former variable is not
actually used anywhere.
