<default> view mode columns - details & where to edit ?

Post by *lap - laurent »

Using 11.02 version, this <default> view is Name - Ext - Size - Date - Attr

This sound strange but I did not find yet a way to
- be 100% sure which date is behind "Date"
- edit the columns of this <default> view

I've been able to define "custom columns view", use them (also to rename multiple files)

... but I stay stuck with this rather basec (stupid ?) question

Thanx for any help

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but

1. To change the date format have a look at the "Tabstops/Data formats" in the configuration. There you can make changes to how the date is displayed.
2. You can create a preferred column setup first, then you can assign it to <default> in the View Modes sections, the columns view pulldown should show the view you have created.

Thanks for the answer, however I'm afraid I was not clear.

The default columns in "Full" are :
Name - Ext - Size - Date - Attr

I'm wondering which file date it is : created, modified date, accessed date, ... and also if it's possible to modify this "Full" columns setup

Now I'm quite sure it's modified date, but still wondering where I could doublecheck this and change those columns

You can make a Custom Columns View, where you can put columns for all 3 dates and compare them with the Full View - then you will see that Full View shows the modified date, which the build-in tc-plugin calls writedate. (Date created = creationdate, Accessed date = accessdate

Very clear and helpful, thx peter !

I suppose the "brief "full" etc views are not configurable, it's of course ok to create your own using Custom Columns view, and a mapping with build-in-tc-plugin entries would help, like you did for the dates in your posts ! I guess this mapping is documented somewhere but I was struggling to find it. So again, thank you !

By default, TotalCommander displays "LastWriteTime" date, designated as "Date modified" in Windows File Explorer .

Code: Select all

PowerShell       TotalCommander      Windows       Explorer
.LastWriteTime   [=tc.writedate]     Modification  Modified
.CreationTime    [=tc.creationdate]  Creation      Created 
.LastAccessTime  [=tc.accessdate]    Access        Accessed
