Not all of my users are based in areas that use the US date format (MM/DD/YYYY), most are in Australia (where the format is DD/MM/YYYY). This issue presents in the following areas:
- Requested files & sent files summary screen
- The "Send Files to Guest User" add details screen (and on the Request Files From screen) - default email subject
In other parts of the system (web client, for example), the web interface appears to use the users locale in displaying dates (relating to folder or file creation times, for example).
Given the way file sharing works, in that the person initiating the transfer could be in a different region to the recipient - could these date formats be changed to be generic (like "16 December, 2013") across the board? A generic format is used in the body of the message (supplied through the variable "$FileShareExpires", as configured in the file sharing options on the server), but not in the subject line.
Also, the mention of the time that the file sharing link will expire (if you specify something like 4 hours for expiry, for example) is almost meaningless unless you include the timezone of the server (or at least the UTC offset) along with this - or alternately just change the time shown to be UTC (and state that).
