I recently discovered Paperwork and started using it as my main document manager.
I am migrating my work from W11 to Ubuntu, and I am trying to use the same software on both platforms.
On Ubuntu I use Paperwork 2.2.5 Flatpak. I import documents and when adding the date associated with the document, it only allows me to add two digits in the year. Even if I use the calendar interface, when I choose a year (for example 1966) it is wrongly saved as 2066 (66). This means that these documents are shown as more recent than those of the current year (2024). Apart from the fact that I do not have documents from the future .
In W11 I use version 2.2.5post367. Here the field reserved for the year allows the inclusion of the 4 digits, so 1966 is no longer 66.
The documents added and imported in the Ubuntu version (which for testing purposes I have stored on an external HDD to which both versions of Paperwork point from their respective OS) I have edited in the Windows version and it has worked.
When I open Paperwork on Windows, documents that have been wrongly tagged with the year 2066, I can correct them to the year 1966. However, when I return to Paperwork on Linux Ubuntu, I must avoid editing those documents (for example to add tags, or change their color, add or remove keywords, or redo OCR, for example) because if I do any of these, the document date reverts to 2066.
Although I can work around this problem by editing the documents under Windows, I wanted to communicate the different approach. Why not use 4 digits for the Linux version? Is there a way to enable this to avoid this problem?
I thought I created the topic with this problem a few days ago, but I can’t find that post. Maybe I did something wrong. That’s why I’m posting again about the same issue. Sorry if the topic is somehow duplicated.
