Description
Currently the debugger watch, tooltip and Evaluate/modify windows display any TDate, TTime or TDateTime as their basic double number - which is rather difficult to determine the actual day,month year and time from.

However for those of use who have lots of TDateTime like fields, it would be much easier to have the option to display the dates/times using a FormatDateTime() call - speicfy the options for TDate/TTime and TDateTime in the debbugger options windows - by default using the current regional settings.

Agree. I do not know how many times I have evaluated the number to get a TDate. Good time saver.
