Bug ID: 57440
           Summary: date format bug in wine env creation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.15
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Name        : wine-core
Version     : 9.15
Release     : 1.fc40
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Do 14 Nov 2024 13:19:06 CET

When a wine env is created, the REG value of:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> International -> sShortDate

is set to "d.M.yyyy", which is wrong and confuses some apps.

It needs to be "dd.MM.yyyy" for Germany ( CC=DE ).

Please inform me, if this a true Wine issue, or if i.e. LUTRIS gives the wrong
date format to the creationprocess. The ENV, with that issue, has been created
by Lutris, which is way easier than doing it manually ;)

Shouldn't you do that *before* you report this as a bug...?
It's an actual issue though.

Created attachment 77438
  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=77438
test program

Attaching a small test program, should print "dd.MM.yyyy", but on Wine it
prints "d.M.yyyy"

Not too good with perl, but this seems to be the part that fills it:
> my @sshortdate = loc_query( $loc, "/ldml/dates/calendars/calendar[@type='gregorian']/dateTimeFormats/availableFormats/dateFormatItem[@id='yMd' and not(@alt)]" );
> push @sshortdate, loc_query( $loc, "/ldml/dates/calendars/calendar[@type='gregorian']/dateTimeFormats/availableFormats/dateFormatItem[@id='yMMMd' and not(@alt)]" );

Not sure why it doesn't use
> <dateFormatLength type="short">
>     <dateFormat>
>         <pattern>dd.MM.yy</pattern>
>     </dateFormat>
> </dateFormatLength>
