The trongate desktop app is really cool!
Under the topic 'Update your settings' we can select our prefered Date and Datetime formats like:

"codingPrefs": {
"codingStyle": "speed coder",
"dateFormat": "d.m.Y",
"dateTimeFormat": "d.m.Y H:i"
}
The cool Codegenerator will also generate the views for crate, manage and show. Unfortunately the predefined date format and datetime format is not used for generating the code for the create.php view, which is also used for updating a record.
It would be very cool if this could be changed like for the other views.

Is there a github repository for the desktop app?

Hi horseman, you are correct. Currently the date format isn't implemented in the desktop app from the settings. Also, there isn't a public repo for it either.

Glad you are enjoying the desktop app ?

It would be nice to be able to generate a module using existing tables from database instead of having to use the property builder.

Hi frocco,

That is a very legitimate thought, and not out the realms of being possible. In fact you can do it now with a little manual intervention:

Step 1 - create a module of the same name as your existing table, with one property matching your existing table
Step 2 - import your existing table to the new apps database, over writing the one created by the desktop app
Step 3 - Open you favourite editor, starting at the bottom of the Controller
- add all your table fields to the _get_data_from_post()
- alter submit() to be inline with your preferred validation rules
- alter show.php view to include the fields from the existing table you want in the 'Details' card
- alter manage() method to order how you want, then add the fields to the manage.php view table
- alter create.php to add the fields to the form you want the user to edit/ create
