Hi, i `m using thunar 1.6.12 under MX-17.1_x64, Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3. My wish, because sometimes you can`t move an old tree like me, is to change the format of date. Is there a way to see only 08.07.18 14:02? The only choices thunar give me, are: Today Today at 14.03.38 Su 08 jul 2018 14:03:38 Cest .... omg ;-) 2018-07-08 14:03.38 That is a point like reading, better not reading, an analog watch. You just have a look and know the time without reading! Thank you https://framapic.org/o5DtHxvtNB8F/OTF3kItrIAGk.png
I would like to suggest adding another option to choose - "Custom format" - so users could entry their own desired format, so for example something like "%d.%m.%y %H:%M". It could look similar to the Clock panel item settings, you can see it here - https://ibb.co/iJc0Bo
Agreed, I as well think a format like "DD.MM.YYYY - HH::MM::SS" is missing (you are lucky that I am german) .. added the issue to my personal Thunar TODO-List ... hope I will have time to work on it soon .. should be rather easy to implement. @Spass: IMO for thunar this would be over-engeneering, and for sure it would be quit a bit of work ... however if you have time to work on it, like always, patches are welcome !
Created attachment 7833 more formats + custom .. dont know what happened, somehow I felt like adding as well the custom-format part. ;) It's not perfect, but already works. I have to polish it a bit more before pushing it to master. Currently known issues: - "custom" should start hidden if something non-custom is selected - missing tooltip to explain supported formats - prettify code Would be great if you could test the patch, and report additional issues, if found !
Created attachment 7837 patch fixed remaining issues, to be tested by somebody else.
Created attachment 7838 patch added note for translators
Created attachment 7839 patch complement Looks pretty good to me, I wasn't even expecting the custom format, awesome work! The attached patch is meant to be applied over yours, no need to make a separated commit or attribute credits to me. The changes are: - indentation fixes - make "Custom" translatable - improving wording in translators' notes - improvements to the tooltip, tabs are evil!!! https://i.imgur.com/hubbGtH.png
alexxcons, this looks perfect! I mean the screenshot, because i don`t know how to patch. Searching google "how to patch...", results are to much for me ;-)
@zezo, it is as straightforward as: git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar cd thunar curl https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=7838 | git apply # alex's patch curl https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=7839 | git apply # my patch ./autogen.sh # you might need to install development packages make pkill -i thunar # kill thunar daemon (do not run this while moving files) thunar/thunar
thank you for taking me by the hand ;-) your tut working good up to $ ./autogen.sh xdt-autogen: You must have "autoconf" Ok xdt-autogen: You must have "intltool" Ok xdt-autogen: You must have "libtool" OK xdt-autogen: You must have "glib2" and here i stopped, someone asked for security passwort i did not have. root or user pass did not work. I think i better wait for thunar update. 3 month ago i coming from windows to linux, not so easy ;-)
Indeed sorting out the missing dependencies and their respective packages for your distro is the trickiest part. If you are using a "rolling release" distribution such as Arch Linux, you'll get the latest Thunar very soon, on the other hand for more "stable" distributions such as Debian or Ubuntu LTS, forget about this feature, it'll take a year or more :-) I hope you are enjoying your Linux experience, specially with regards to Xfce ;)
Created attachment 7841 patch complement 2 Thanks again for the review and the patch ! As discussed in irc, here some more adjustments: - renamed iso, iso_eu and iso_us - use yyyymmdd as default for custom

Fixed. Will be released in thunar 1.8.2 @zezo: Hope you can figure out this security password thing ... never saw something like that on package install. You are sure you picked the dev-version of the correct package ? ... best check if your distribution already ships thunar 1.8.x and/or when the next release of the distribution is planned.

@ Andre Miranda I use MX Linux 17.1, I`m not the youngest ----- think i will experience an thunar update ;-) My Linux experience: Just great! Never booting so fast, running quick, easy and reliable upt to know. On the other side, microsoft makes it in the last time easy for me to change. @alexxcons figured out the password thing. It was the stupid user in front of screen, only thunderbird was running in background and asking for pass ;-) MX has thunar 1.6.12. They are very quick up to now with updates, saying as a newbie! So we see, i`m not in a hurry. At weekend i will try patch again ...
I've compiled thunar from master, and it works perfect. Many thanks for that, after all these many years with xfce, finally a "german date". regards MB
Glad you like it ;)
me too, now with german date :-) Thank you !
