Time constraint is being ignored for data download if entered in wrong format

[HelenClifton]

Expected behavior

Downloading soil moisture dataset and applying time constraint

Actual behavior

Time constraint is ignored
May be because "From" and "To" are no longer separate fields in "Download Data Source" window

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Download Data Source as below:

2. Look in local data store, see files from 1978 onwards are being saved

Specifications

cate-0.9.0.dev6
Windows 7 Professional

Hi Helen,
before entering a date range in the input field the hint shows the format as YYYY-MM-DD,YYYY-MM-DD.
Maybe I should format the text below the input field in a similar format.

@mzuehlke Hi, thanks for this.
When I put the time range in the correct format, the time constraints are applied correctly.
It would also be a good idea, if the format is incorrect, to warn the user, rather than ignoring the input and downloading the entire dataset (which can take several hours)

[mzuehlke]

Yes, you are right. I'm already looking into the missing validation.

Definitely not a maybe. I'll fix it.

Confirmed fixed in cate-1.0.0-dev.1. Format is now validated.
