Nautilus ISO Date

After following all the previous related issues and discussions on this topic for years…

Phew!.. it’s been a journey! Just want to say thanks to @kabushawarib for landing:

With nautilus 49.0, now there’s no more futzing around with system locales, and LC_TIME hacks with en_DK.UTF-8 are required no longer.

Nor are any translation modifications needed.

A quick patch and I’ve got exactly the date (and time) format I desire:

I only modified the “Detailed” version and left the “Simple” variant at its defaults. It’s cool.

My only request / suggestion: it would be even cooler if, when in Simple mode, a tooltip could display the timestamp when hovering over any ambiguous item like “yesterday” or “last month”.

But, I guess that’s the point of “Detailed” mode, so I’m happy as is.

Thanks to you and @p3732 for your continued efforts on this ever-evolving first-class file manager!

Just curious if this idea would be considered or if it’s been previously suggested?

Don’t think it was suggested before. Right Files only show a tooltip for the filename if it is ellipsized.
