Hi

In the Modified and Created Columns, how can I see the following simultaneously:

Date in a particular notation e.g. 14-Sept-17 6:07:00 PM AND "Show Age" which shows age in notation e.g. 14 days

You can't. You would need to create (and script it) a custom column to do this...

Hi

Anyone - please advice if you have created such a script. I am not great at scripting.

Hi

thank you a lot. I made a text file with the above code and renamed it date_age.xys and pasted in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Scripts\ folder.

Then I selected the file and went to menu > Scripting > Try Script and it shows beautifully step by step ending return value of
07-Dec-17 16:47:47 PM | Age 9 minute(s)

But when I load this script, nothing happens. I even save after loading the script. Can you help me how do I load it and show it as an extra column?

There are dozens of postings that describe how a custom column with a script is setup...
