Hello.

Can I refer to a file created tonight as 'Created by somebody on 09.01.2012 at 21:46' ?

Thanks, Alex.

Unless you are going to identify the author, just "Created on 09.01.12..." is better.
"Created by AlexAD on ..." would be fine.

Thanks.
Here is another question, can I put the by part at the end or I had better use this like I wrote?

Just be aware that some people will think you mean September 1 and others will think you mean January 9. While Sept 1, 2012, is in the future NOW, so therefore not yet possible for a creation date of an exising file, by Sept 2 there could be confusion.

That's really confusing for me, I just can't get my head around writing dates in that order.

I guess because we say Sept 1, 2010, we write 09/01/10, so 09.01.12 would mean September 1 for me.

When I see 120901 I assume it's year/month/date so that when you list them in order, you have sequential dates.
