Calendar Style Display Options
Contents
In the "Preferences" dialog, "Dates" tab you can specify how calendar flags should be handled.
•Never show OS/NS flags – Always use default – When this option is selected, Solar Fire never displays OS (old style, Julian) or NS (new style, Gregorian) suffixes on its dates. When this option is in effect, any date on or prior to 14 Oct 1582 is an OS date, and any later date is a NS date. This is how earlier versions of Solar Fire always worked.
•Always show OS/NS flags between years – When this option is selected, Solar Fire will always display the OS or NS suffix on any chart whose year falls within the specified range.
•Retain all user entered OS/NS flags – When this option is selected, Solar Fire remembers whether the date you entered had an OS or NS suffix, and if so, always displays the date with that suffix, and according to that calendar style. For example, if you entered “17 Aug 1753 OS”, then that date would always be displayed that way too. However, if you entered “17 Aug 1753 OS” when this option was not selected, then it would be converted into the NS calendar, and displayed as “28 Aug 1753” or “28 Aug 1753 NS”.
