vertical line on Modified tag

Post by CompSystems »

Hello

Please an option in Modified tag to separate the date and time by columns, that is, add a vertical line to better differentiate the text strings.

Hmm, never thought about that. The distance between Date and Time is just like in File Explorer: 1 space. I would not draw a line here but I experimented with making it 2 spaces and I must admit it does not look bad. The price is 1 horizontal pixel per date column, but it might be worth it:

In the previous images you can now differentiate the time and date fields :tup: , although you can also customize the separation character as vertical line characters┆ ┇ ┊ ┋ ║ ▕▏

I can think of another idea, the ▲ ▼ buttons allow you to sort the files, you could add two similar symbols ◀ ▶ in Modified/Created to hide subfields, only date or only time.

In Name it would serve for example to show only directories or only files

Next version you can set the DateTimeSeparator using this UNDOCUMENTED script command:

Code: Select all

dts "  "; 
dts " ┊ ";
dts; //back to default
