It works! I was only pointing out that it's missing a comment in the INI file, so it is not only an undocumented tweak but also a tweak in hiding.

All better - thank you for marking it as such!

I use the tweak AgeDecimalPlaces=-1 from time to time and I'm very pleased!
As far as I can see, you use the following pairs to express time: mins+secs, hrs+mins, days+hrs, yrs+days. Can I suggest to split the last pair in something like months+days and yrs+months, or even wks+days, months+wks, yrs+months? The rationale behind this is that brain maps time in logarithmic fashion ( http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/15480 ... 20line.pdf ), and the on screen format should follow accordingly by picking the two larger units possible.

Weeks would be okay, but months is difficult since they are different in length.

Do you use your own custom code or VB6 functions to calculate date differences?

Own code.

Bug: when a file is fresh, age can be negative number:

XY just reports the facts. In this case the app that created the file has set a (very slightly) wrong date.

OTOH I'm surprised that you see msecs. Did you tick Show Milliseconds?

OK, I could repro it...

It shows this now:

AgeDecimalPlaces = -1
0 secs (I would prefer 0 sec)
Sometimes 1 sec, sometimes 1 secs (I would prefer always 1 sec)
2 secs
3 secs

AgeDecimalPlaces = -2
0 secs (I would prefer 0s)
1 sec (I would prefer 1s)
2s
3s

0 secs is correct - check http://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... or-seconds

Yes, 0 secs is correct.

But the other little glitches....well, it's a long way to perfection...

I would actually prefer a more flexible approach to "Show maximum age in hours" where it is showing the age only if {the date part = today}.
So I get the age for everything of today and the proper dates for everything older.

Yes, I share your desire.It will come...

Thanks in advance then...
