Bug Report: Scan schedule

[Magnus]

Hello,

I use the latest version: 1.0.615.

When i try to modify the Scan Shedule I can't change the
Start time, it always resets itself to 3.00 AM.

I try to use Weekly, Tuesday and Friday, 15:00:00 (i.e. 3
PM) but when I press Update schedule it changes back to 3 AM...

I'm not awake at 3 AM...

I use XP Pro, SP 2, Swedish version with 24 h time format.

/m

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.

Same bug here, Set it to 18:00, and is changes to 6:00 AM
It seems you can only schedule a scan in the morning!

24 hour clock formats will see this issue.

Since English (United States) has a 12 hour clock by default, here's a quick
fix:

reset language to English (United States) Set your desired afternoon scan
schedule.

Reset language to your current setting.

The scan should take place at the correct time, although it may not look
correct in the UI.
