Add date format configuration option, or respect system setting #40

Open DeflateAwning opened 3 years ago

Please add a configuration option to use a different date format within the Setting dialog (alongside the Currency selector). Alternatively, make the date format use whatever is selected system-wide in the system's computer's locale settings.

In Canada, the dd/mm/yyyy is never used, and is very tough for me to wrap my head around. I would prefer yyyy-mm-dd, as that is the standard for computing systems, but mm/dd/yyyy is very common in the US, so that should be added/respected as well.

Thanks!

Everywhere I could find is already using toLocaleString(), theoretically that should mean it respects the system locale settings.. I think the best way forward would be to add a new config option to explicitly set locale.

I'm running it on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, still with host-manager v1.0.23, for reference. I know electron has some issues, so maybe this is yet another place it lacks support. Or maybe I've done something wrong. I'm not certain

@ThePiGuy off topic, but did you get your host updated for the hardfork? Host Manager v1.0.30 is the only version with Sia v1.5.4.

I'm actually running the siad daemon separately, and am just using host manager for settings updates mostly

It looks like this is yet another Electron issue, I'll have to add an explicit override 🤦🏻
