Baloo doesn't have active developers so you can add Aacid to accept it.

I guess +1 from me. Infopanel and tooltips are disabled by default anyway, so it's not a big deal if we also show the mtime there.

@markg I actually like the current verbose format. That's somewhat unrelated to this; can we track that change, if any, with a new patch?

That depends on how you want to do that ;)

What i'm thinking about, but that might be way too specific, is providing a settings field somewhere where you fill in the date time format you want to see. And then use that format everywhere in Dolphin. But that would be a micro setting that probably not everyone would agree to.

Another option is getting it from the settings as both your and my preference is there. Just go to System Settings -> Formats and there you see "Time". There are two lines there, long format and short format. I think it would be acceptable if dolphin is a "Time format" dropdown in it's settings that picks either the long format or the short format. Would that work for you? The default probably has to stay the short format though, as the long one will explode the detail view width.

Honestly I think it's fine the way it is: in the details view, we have a nice compact string that doesn't make the column too wide, and in the Information Panel, we have a longer string that provides more information and isn't too big since text can wrap there.

I do see your point though, and I agree that the long string should be customizable in some way for people who prefer a shorter string. But that seems out of scope for this change; can we stick to this change here, and discuss that other change (which I do approve of:) ) in another patch or bug report?

Great, thank you!
