CONFIGURATION: Show seconds (for file and folder timestamps)
Posted: 2016-10-15, 13:33 UTC
Hello all, especially ghisler(Author).
Following on from my detailed previous post I would like to make this request/suggestion to address the long standing Windows annoyance as previously described.
Since a MAJOR new version 9 of TC is currently being developed, this would be a perfect time to implement such a simple but important and very useful new feature in TC, I hope we would not have to wait until TC "10" to have this implemented internally in the TC Configuration Options dialog.
It would be a simple "Show seconds" checkbox similar to that of the WinRAR File Manager setting in "File list" but used globally in TC for both file and folder timestamp displays.
This would eliminate the need to use complicated "Custom columns" views to display this simple only extra two digit seconds in times, and IMHO it has long been overdue in the Windows operating system such as a setting for the native Windows Explorer.
Even excuses such as only FAT32 file system times are accurate to only within two seconds of precision are getting old and lame since NTFS has been around for many years also with 64-bit file times with 100 nanosecond precision. I do realise some USB and other drives need to use other FAT32 or exFAT file systems for compatibility reasons but seconds are still stored for files and folders on these file systems albeit of lesser resolution.
I hope this request/suggestion will be seriously considered soon for TC9 final to address this long standing Windows annoyance and make TC one of the few file managers to support this very useful feature.
Peace.
