[Bug 40349] Re: gnumeric does not properly export datetimes to Text format

[Chris Rose]

Morten Welinder said in the upstream bug report:

The format, apart from using slashes instead of dashes, is the ISO
format.  It is *not* a European format -- that would be d/m/yyyy or
something like it, depending on where in Europe.

More importantly, the format used is just about the only format that
will be understood world-wide.  I think creating files that will not
be misinterpreted is very important.

If you want the on-screen version -- which obviously can discard information
that the current format does not display -- then use the configurable
formatter, i.e., select "Save-As" with file type "Text export (configurable)"
and select format "Preserve".

** Changed in: gnumeric (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected
