Also valid, although I have to first find out how to actually get the locale information here.

I was just about to file a bug on https://github.com/nomeata/arbtt/issues, but luckily found this issue here before posting. (Which raises the question: which bug tracker is the right one? Having two at the same time is kinda confusing.)

Currently, the timestamp format of arbtt-stats --interval is inconsistent with the rest of arbtt; everything else seems to default to ISO8601 %Y-%m-%d:

martin@martin ~ % arbtt-stats --dump-samples 2>/dev/null | grep '^2021' | tail -n1
2021-06-01 18:41:39 (33ms inactive):
martin@martin ~ % arbtt-dump | grep '^2021' | tail -n1                            
2021-06-01 18:41:39 (33ms inactive):
martin@martin ~ % arbtt-stats --for-each day 2>/dev/null | grep 'Total time per tag' | tail -n1
Total time per tag (Day 2021-06-01)

IMO a quick fix that just changes the default format to `%Y-%m-%d` would be preferable until proper locale support can be implemented. I would even argue that the default text output of arbtt-stats doesn’t need to have an option for the timestamp format because it’s not supposed to be parsed anyway, but for --output-format tsv / csv it’s probably a different story :/

Yeah… I put this on Bitbucket at a time when Github wasn’t quite the monopoly yet, and I was hoping I could help with keeping the landscape diverse. But in practice, that didn’t quite work out. I should probably move the projects to Github completely.

I wounld’t mind a patch that make the time display consistent.

Ok, migrated to Github. Hope you’ll find it here :-)
