Bag roast date not taking into account different date formats

[aarongoldenthal]

Describe the bug

I have the date format setting for the DYE extension set to MDY. My most recent bag is entered as 09.02.2024 (i.e. September 2, 2024), and the extension is interpreting it correctly since it says is 19 days off roast. The visualizer, on the shot and roasters pages, now displays the roast date, but it's showing as February 09, 2024. So, if the date parses it's incorrect, but many dates will fail to parse properly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enter bag roast date with the DYE extensions set to MDY (and maybe anything other than DMY, I did not check) and upload a shot
2. Check the date displayed for the shot

Expected behavior

The date format should be taken into account when parsing dates.

Ah, interesting. Need to look into how DYE handles this and if there's a way for me to detect which one it is 🤔

Just checked with @ebengoechea and:

…the setting to format it as the user wants is a DYE setting, not a global setting you can find in the file

I think the app would handle dates with numbers larger than 12 on the second position automatically, but it can't determine what "09.02.2024" stands for since it's ambiguous. It assumes it's not MDY since, as far as I know, that's only used in 1 out of 195 countries in the world 😂

I will need to add a setting for this I believe. Similar to Fahrenheit. Huh, maybe I could even use that, since that's also not used much outside of USA. 😅

True, but it is the first option 😉. Obviously an easy fix is just to change formats, which is what I'm going to do for now.

FYI - Changing the bag date first in the visualizer updated everything, that's really nice, and then the next shot (now DMY) synced with the previous bag by date.

Is it weird that I use US date format and Celsius 🤣.
