(Update) : As I should have mentioned this. This concerns the Rclone browser
In the modified column the date formats are set to US format which is most confusing for us in Europe and can lead to errors
Exemple 2022-06-02 which for me reads as being modified the 6th February 2022, For me it should read 02-06-2022 (my date formats are correct in my Arch Linux setup)
I haven't seen a settings where these can be changed, is it possible please ?
many thanks
PS update this as I'm using the rclone browser so maybe not relevant here
There's a number of advantages to this format; it's directly sortable (because it goes from largest->smallest - year, month, day, hour, min, sec, subsecond) and it doesn't suffer the "what does 01/03/2022 mean? First of March or Third of Jan?!" problem It's always yyyy-mm-dd and so consistent.
(That consistency is very useful for me; I'm an Englishman living in America and so get very confused when people write 01/03 )
I'm English like you, but live in France (Better food & wine ) But I do not like the yyyy-mm-dd format as I find it very confusing, like you but the other way around, The best solution would be 'June 02 2022' as this would not have any confusion possible
ISO 8601 is a compromise which pleases no-one except software developers who love it because it sorts correctly
As a software developer I've been writing dates like this for a very long time. I think my accountant has finally got used to it, though there was lots of grumbling about funny American dates from him initially.
When I ordered checks (of which, I've used about 1/year ), I intentionally ordered ones that had a solid blank line for date so I could do it in ISO8601
It's always yyyy-mm-dd and so consistent.
