Hello sapiency

this function works nice for a lot of situations, but IMHO it make things it not should do ..

1.1.10 -> 01.01.2010 is OK
1.1.1 -> 01.01.2001 is not OK

I modified it and now it should work as I expect:

1.1.10 -> 01.01.2010
1.1.0 -> 01.01. 0
1.1.1 -> 01.01. 1
1.1.01 -> 01.01.2001
1.1.011-> 01.01. 11

Well, for me

1.1.1 -> 01.01.2001 is OK
1.1.1 -> 01.01. 1 is not OK
1.1.0 -> 01.01.0 sound logical, but strange
1.1.10 -> 01.01.2010 is OK and does not match with the later... it should have to be
1.1.10 -> 01.01.10, that sound logical, but strange

Perhaps if you are working in something about Roman Empire it sounds clever, but for events happened nowadays, it is not simple to understand.

So I prefer the actual implementation Wink

. Sorry
