[Qgis-user] Problem with mac date formatting from

[Jules]

Hi Guys

I have a mac running mac osx maverics (10.9.5) and Qgis 2.4.

For some reason the date format on the mac is mis-interpreting the date 
in shape files as being year day month format (YYYYDDMM) resulting in 
incorrectly formatted dates.

It is correctly written in the shape file .dbf as YYYYMMDD (confirmed 
with dbf viewer) and is interpreted correctly on multiple windows 
machines. The date format on the mac is set to UK dd mm yyyy but we 
swapped to US mm dd yyyy format as a test but the problem remained the same.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Regards
Jules
