Do you mean the format in the KDM Creator window?

Oh, right! That would be a very user friendly option. I guess it would be better to include it to Preferences (Time format: 12hr/24hr) and use it in every place where local times are displayed.

Old versions are 12hr format maybe an option for selection between 24hr and 12hr will helps a lot. I'm worried that it could have a little effect in cinemas in each country using different time format in the future . Just thinking..:)..thanks

The security managers in servers and media blocks use 24hr format (UTC + time zone correction). So actually the KDMs will always contain only 24hr format time regardless of the format selected in the preferences of KDM generation software.
