[Error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

• I'm using 'dd.MM.yyyyy' for short and long date format,  'HHmm' for short time format, and  'HHmmss' for long time format.
• I was considering to, but decided against it for the time being.

I would consider dependency on a certain DateTime format a bug, since users are able to easily change it. (While they are not able to change the unix system clock, for example.) If that is intended behavior, it would be only a minor inconvenience for me to change my DateTime format in order to get rid of the error.

Thank you for your time.

1. I don't have .NET 4.5.1, but I do have 4.8.

2. Yes, I have highly unusual date and time format setup.

Error message: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

I attached my system time and date format.

[Error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

P.S. When clicking 'information', the error pops up and information doesn't. So perhaps it is triggered by trying to display information.

[Error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.]

Every time some part of Plastic client GUI refreshes, it displays the following error:

  "Error
     String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

After clicking 'OK', Plastic continues to operate as usual. I suspect this might be because I have changed date and time format on my system.

Re-installing Plastic fixes the issue for a while, but then it comes back. Sometimes after a single computer re-start, sometimes after a few days.
