Description

Currently, the application uses a fixed date format which may not match the regional or user preference.
It would be very helpful to allow users to select their preferred date format.

Proposed Feature

  • Add a setting (in preferences/configuration) where users can select their desired date format.
  • Supported formats could include (but not limited to):
    • DD/MM/YYYY
    • MM/DD/YYYY
    • YYYY-MM-DD
    • DD-MM-YYYY
    • MMM DD, YYYY

Benefits

  • Improves usability for users in different regions.
  • Prevents confusion caused by different international date formats.
  • Enhances flexibility and user experience.

Possible Implementation Ideas

  • Introduce a config option (e.g., dateFormat) in settings.
  • Apply the selected format consistently across all date fields, inputs, and outputs.
  • Optionally, detect default locale and pre-select a matching format.

Example

If the user selects DD/MM/YYYY:

  • 2025-09-1010/09/2025

If the user selects MM/DD/YYYY:

  • 2025-09-1009/10/2025
