Hello Mark,
No, you are not alone with this experience. It seems that the user
defaults do not correctly reflect the settings in the International
preference pane.
My experience is that the NSDateFormatString and the
NSShortDateFormatString behave correctly. These two strings do reflect
the settings in my preferences. But the NSTimeDateFormatString and the
NSShortTimeDateFormatString seems to not change at all when I change my
preferences. Finally, the NSTimeFormatString does seem to change
between 12/24 hour clocks, but seems to forget the AM/PM postfix.
Here are the strings I get in a Danish locale:
NSDateFormatString = '%A %e. %B %Y'
NSShortDateFormatString = '%d/%m/%y'
NSTimeDateFormatString = '%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
NSShortTimeDateFormatString = '%d %b %Y %I:%M %p'
NSTimeFormatString = '%1H:%M:%S'
and the corresponding strings in a US locale:
NSDateFormatString = '%A, %B %e, %Y'
NSShortDateFormatString = '%1m/%e/%y'
NSTimeDateFormatString = '%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
NSShortTimeDateFormatString = '%d %b %Y %I:%M %p'
NSTimeFormatString = '%1I:%M:%S'
It seems clear to me that this cannot be the intended behaviour, since
it makes it very hard for applications to correctly use the users
preferences for date and time presentation. I'm going to file a bug on
radar against this behaviour and see what Apple has to say about it.
Kind regards
Jens
