I'm looking to add a Splot date option that isn't currently listed - month - day - year without the weekday included. Any idea how I go about doing this or what line(s) of code need adding to the dcadwin.ini file?

In the dcadwin.ini file, under the [Stamp] section you can modify the 3 lines for either CustomDate or CustomTime using the follow formats
Code: Select allCustomDate=@PLTDATECUSTOM
CustomDateFormat=mmm dd, yyyy
CustomDateMenuText=Month Day, Year
You can see this post and this post for a bit more info.

If you have already used custom entries for those two custom stamps there is supposed to be a way to add additional custom user stamps but I could never get them to work. I'll use this opportunity to now officially beg for clarification on how to get the User_X format to work for enabling us to add additional custom stamps. Pleaseeeeeeee?
