non standard date separators #58

Closed shaneknysh closed 4 years ago

shaneknysh commented 4 years ago

I use . as a date separator I've forked and modified the code to meet my needs. Do you think there is a big enough audience to add this to the options and allow user to select the data separator?

The specification says:

If the creation date exists, it should be in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

If you refer to todo.txt-cli for your local modifications, that surely is possible. I'm against a configuration option for this, first because the spec does not recommend / allow this, and second because several add-ons would not understand this format and would have to be updated (which will never fully happen, as some authors have abandoned their add-on).

I've made the local modifications but I did not think they would be popular enough to justify the addition into the main repo. I didn't want to go any further building a setting and requesting a pull request if I am the only one who would use the feature.

I'll keep my changes in my fork and close this issue.
