Waypoints: Modified, Created Date

Former Member over 11 years ago

v4.2.2, Looking at a Waypoint in the "Detailed Data List" all I see for Date Modified is a Time, no Date. Same for Date Created.

Also, when I modify a Waypoints NAME, the modified Date is not changed but if I modify the Comments the Modified Date (Time) is changed.

When I open a Waypoint properties I don't see any Date information. Only Time and it is not correct as noted above.

Over here BaseCamp shows both date and time...
I can confirm that the modification date is updated when you change anything except the name. I guess this is done deliberately because the name can sometimes change automatically, like when you duplicate a waypoint, or import a file with a waypoint that has the same name.

I figured out the problem. BaseCamp is using the "Short Form" of the Mac OS Date/Time Language Preferences formate. Mine was empty since I expected Apps would defaut to the next higher format - not so, for BaseCamp anyway.

As for the Waypoint Name exception, I'm an old Engineer, a change is a change is a change. Changing the Name of a Waypoint is not insignificant since it is used as the "key" in the My Collection database schema. If it's changed the MODIFIED DATE field should be updated from my perspective.
