Date set on WEST in Nemo and Nautilus instead of EnUK

Post by ElStellino »

Hello,

A while ago I had already the problem of Thuderbird displaying the date in the wrong format that for Thunderbird was just confusing. After fiddling about for a day I discovered that the system locale was set on enUS, and fixed that. Now I find myself with the problem of seeing files in Nemo with the correct time but the wrong timezone (WEST insteaf of BST) and in Nautilus with a wrong hour altogether. How can I fix this, please?

This Nemo:

This is Nautilus, those 11:04 files were saved at 17:04

Sorry, I don't have a clue how to display a scale of 240x320, just click on the links.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not at home in UK, so perhaps I miss something, but if I read on Wikipedia, I get the understanding, that WEST and BST are the same: UTC +1. If my understanding should be right, Nemo does not show the wrong time zone.

I cannot comment on Nautilus, but looking at your screenshot there is more strange than the different time (assuming that on both pictures the highlighted object is indeed the same): I see on a number of objects only date values without time and on others time without date. Should this be intended?

Thanks Cosmo.,

Doh, didn’t know that.

Time has passed and I honestly forgot about this: they changed something in the program I work with during the last 10/15 days so now I no longer need to download all the files and then, working on them and then resubmit them, but I submit them directly through the new version of the program, and work in a browser environment without having to download them. This is the reason why I forgot...

Thanks for your reply, I use almost exclusively Nemo, so at this point it doesn’t matter much for Nautilus.

Anyway, Nautilus shows only the files without date when the last modification occurred in the same date.
As far as I can see it shows just date month if you are still in the same year, otherwise it shows date month year if it’s a different year.
I’d assume it considers that the time is relevant just until the end of the day?

Thanks again!
