Hi Charley!

Where do I set the locale? I'm sure I have looked at every available option but did not see it.

The column type is a column built from other columns. The Sort/search column flag is set to text. When working, the Read Status column contains the text "Not Read", "Reading: x% or the date reading was completed. This is currently displayed as mm/dd/yy.

Following the terse suggestion to look at Preferences->Tweaks, I had a look at the 'Control how dates are displayed' option. As the column contains the text I didn't think this would work but thought it worth a try. The lookup name for the custom column is read_status. I played around with various combinations including gui_read_status_display_format in the edit tweak screen but nothing seemed to work.

Anymore suggestions anyone?
