[Digikam-users] Set display date format

[Alan Pater]

Gilles, thanks to your message to Marie on setting the preferred web
browser in OS X, I was able to configure the short date format to
YYYY-MM-DD for digikam and other KDE apps running under Ubuntu Unity.

I ran the KDE Control from the command line:

~$ /usr/bin/kcmshell4 language

To see the list of available controls run:

~$ /usr/bin/kcmshell4 -list


Cheers!
