I set a Date custom column on some books to Today (e.g 2016-09-28) using Bulk Metadata Edit
And then I selected one of the books in the Book List, cursored to the Date column and hit F2 - the date in the edit box shows the previous date - i.e. 2016-09-27:eek: If I then press Enter or Tab the date is changed :cry:
So, why haven't I noticed this before. I always use 'yyyy-MM-dd' format. I first noticed this when looking at someone else's data who uses the default 'dd MM YYYY' format. Being a LTR reader I immediately saw the change from '28 Sep 2016' to '27 Sep 2016'. Also when I edit Dates in the Book List I normally set them to Today or Clear them with '=' and '-' respectively. But I do occasionally tab through them. But I rarely (probably never before) set them in Bulk.
I have only observed it happen with dates set in Bulk MDE. But other things like metadata downloads, maybe some UI plugins (FFF ?), and Calibre Companion also set dates in calibre libraries. I don't do any of them, so I'm unable to test them.
In case its relevant I'm UTC+10.00.
Here is a zip with a video ==>> https://www.mediafire.com/?9dqceavm6r6a4zr (too big for here).
You'll see a green blob in the video - that's the mouse pointer, you'll see I don't use it except to move it off 'camera'. The video loops, and sorry for the slowness (hence size), its the first such thing I've made. Took me several downloads to find something I could drive - Icecream Screen Recorder - very simple.
I can PM the database if necessary
