Default Schedule Scan problem


I am aware of the scan schedule problems. This bug exists
regardless of using 12 or 24 hour.

I have scheduled a weekly scan on Mon, Wed and Fridays at
10:00:00 AM. The scan screen reads "Every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday of every week at 112:00 AM"
(Something odd there!)It runs 2 scans simultaneously @
10AM and displays 2 summary boxes. If you select a
different time e.g. 9.00 AM everything is OK. Is this a
problem with my installation or does anyome else have a
problem with a 10 AM scan start time?

Thanks

Mark

Default Schedule Scan problem

I also have this problem as does another friend.
Furthermore, if you attempt to enter 19:00 for the scan
schedule time and then update schedule, the scheduled
time for the scan changes to 07:00 AM. This is despite
the fact that the control panel is configured for the 24
hour clock that displays the time correctly on the task
bar.

Hopefully, the fix will present itself shortly.

Default Re: Schedule Scan problem

By Bill Sanderson:

I've dug into this bug, as follows:

Users in locales where the default clock is a 24 hour format will find that
they cannot set scheduled scan times in the afternoon.

This can be worked around by selecting a time format which uses 12 hour
format rather than 24 hour.

This is on the Time tab, and a working format is: h:mm:ss tt

A non-working format is: any of the choices with a CAPITAL H at the
beginning.

This isn't my discovery, it was posted by others here, but I've done some
testing:

1) I set my language to English (United Kingdom) afternoon settings failed
(default time is 24 hour.) Reset time to 12 hour,and afternoon settings
worked.

2) I set my language to English (United States) Default time setting is 12
hour. Scheduling scans in the afternoon works fine. Change just the time
settings to a 24 hour choice, and you can no longer set up a scheduled
scanin the afternoon.

This bug appears to me to be new in build 614.
