Is there any way to force using a short date/time format instead of a long one?

Actually, it will be enough for me to not display the time zone.

not sure you can change that date display

you could add those columns in dolphin’s details view and get the shorter date format that way.

I’m pretty sure that a short time ago, the time zone was displayed in a short form. Look like a bug for me.

what does your locale settings look like?

It’s American English.

From the Qt 6.8 release notes:

dd56558ecde Date-time formats now more faithfully follow the CLDR data in handling timezones. In most cases where this changes data, it uses the IANA ID in place of the abbreviation.

So it looks like this is an intentional change in Qt 6.8.

i’m still on 6.6 and my properties window looks just like yours, it’s following the upper line format under the Time settings

but if i make a column in the details view, it uses the lower line format which is much shorter and easier to read.

Does the time in the Properties dialog box contain the full name of the time zone (Eastern Standard Time) instead of the short one (EST)?

ah, yes the time zone on mine just show the short version PST or PDT

so maybe it’s a timezone bug.

change you timezone to pacific time and see what it does.
