Scheduling afternoon acans

[Andrew D]

The Scheduling Scans tool only seems to recognise AM
time, not PM time. I tried to schedule scans for 16.00,
and it takes it as 04.00 instead. Is this a glitch or
how the programme is meant to work?

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.

Hi

Despite search not available at the moment, a well-
labelled message meant I found the solution to my problem.

Many thanks for finding and posting this solution Andre.
