In Thunar 1.8.14 Under Edition>Preferences Tab Display In date format there is "Today" which is d-m-y Under https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.14/preferences "Date - Format Choose your preferred date display format. You can as well provide a custom date string." First the reference manual, lacks information, I didn't test all options of https://thdoan.github.io/strftime/ but %a %b %j are working with expected behaviour as described with https://thdoan.github.io/strftime/ However, I do NOT how to get "Today" feature in a format as Y-m-d, instead of d-m-y Therefore: 1/ request the addition of https://thdoan.github.io/strftime/ in the manual https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.14/preferences 2/ request new option or description in manual to perform "Today" feature in a format as Y-m-d Thanks
> First the reference manual, lacks information Here what the tooltip of thunar-master has: gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text (entry, _("Custom date format to apply.\n\n" "The most common specifiers are:\n" "%d day of month\n" "%m month\n" "%Y year including century\n" "%H hour\n" "%M minute\n" "%S second\n\n" "For a complete list, check the man pages of 'strftime'")); ... the complete list of 'strftime' is a bit long for a tooltip I just added the stuff from the tooltip as well to https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.14/preferences#display_preferences > 2/ request new option or description in manual to perform "Today" feature in a format as Y-m-d Not sure what you request here ... a option to show date as "Today" / "Yesterday" ? Patches would be welcome ... check "thunar_util_humanize_file_time" and THUNAR_DATE_STYLE_SIMPLE / THUNAR_DATE_STYLE_SHORT for that .. though it might be much more work than you expect.
Created attachment 9670 thunar custom date
Well, if you select the option "today", Thunar display in the date column, dates in the format:d-m-y EXCEPT for today which is displayed as "today" I wish the same behaviour, but instead of display the dat in the format d-m-y to have it Y-m-d Should I try a custom date format as Y-m-d, then any file on today will not be display with "today" in the column. See screenshots
Created attachment 9671 Thunar today date format
Well, I omit to say that with option "today", any files which is of yesterday or today, is displayed as "yesterday" or "today". All I wish, is the exact same behaviour, only the display date format for any other date to be Y-m-d
ok, got it, thanks :) .... so far there is no option for that (and it would be some work to implement) I dont have time for it. Though if you are interested, patches would be very welcome. Probably you only need to modify "thunar_util_humanize_file_time".
