Re: Change format for date for thunar

Which version of thunar?
As of version 1.8.2, you can specify a custom date format in Preferences > Display tab > Date > format.

Re: Change format for date for thunar

I don't see any way to do it with that version of Thunar. With version 1.8.2 or later, you can specify a custom date format to use for the display.
