Setting possibility for "Time format"

[petermad]

Now that we can set the "Date format" in the "Tabstops/Data Formats" configuration dialog in TC 10.50 it would be nice to also have a "Time format" setting with these options:

Code: Select all

<default>
hh:mm
hh:mm:ss

and maybe also these two:

Code: Select all

h:mm
h:mm:ss

but the latter would probably require that the time part of the Date can be right-adjusted or that the missing 0 before the hours is replaced with a space to look nice.

That could also satisfy the re-occurring request for displaying seconds, without having to use Custom Columns.

Unfortunately this would mess up all the logic of automatically adjusting the default columns.

So how do you manage with adjusting different date formats, for example YY-MM-DD and YYYY-MM-DD?

Unfortunately this would mess up all the logic of automatically adjusting the default columns.

Hmm, a pity - this could have met the request for showing seconds which frequently turns up here in the forum.

Yeah, Don’t be so sorry . Perhaps we're all a bit confused about the problems we're talking about.
I definitely don't see what adjusting we're talking about now? If a string has a very hard known width in characters?
What difference does 12:56 (5 characters) or 12:56:44 (8 characters) make?

probably it's time again to talk about this suggestion? why we should bump heads with "problems"?

Bump*
