I'm not seeing the "unknown" thing anymore. For "Automatic" and
"German" I'm
seeing the standard German date format. For "English" it is an ISO format I
think, yyyy-mm-dd, which is not necessarily the standard English (US or UK)
format I guess.
Indeed, it's the ISO 8601 fallback that I mentioned.
And BTW, there is no time stamp in any setting, just the date,
don't remember
if previous versions had it. Whereas for example LyX does display also the
time of the last change.
You'll see H:M for file modified within the last 24 hours. The GTK
filechooser doesn't show time-of-day for older files.
