Hello!
I'm Rinoceronte, from Italy, an enthusiastic user of Calibre, although I do not know how to use it very well yet.
I noticed 2 inconveniences that I could not eliminate, even following the instructions in the guide.

The first is managing the dates.
The time zone shown in my PC is GMT+01.00 and, in Calibre preferences, I set the dates in the form "dd MM yyyy".
When I add to my Calibre Portable library an epub, which in its "content.opf" file has a publication date for example 06.05.2017 (May, 6th 2017), the "metadata.opf" file, created in the ebook folder, reports <dc:date>2017-05-05T23:00:00+00:00</dc:date>.
It's as if the date had been converted to GMT.
However, Calibre interprets it and displays it accurately: 06.05.2017.

The second inconvenience occurs in the definition of words to consider articles. In preferences I completely deleted all the articles and entered "NONE". But this does not apply to those in English, which continue to be moved at the end of the title and separated by a comma. This is also the case for Italian words, equal to English articles.

Most likely all depends on my incorrect settings and I would be very grateful if you told me how to eliminate these inconveniences.
Thanks and best regards.
