How is the time shown in the label as shown in the attached figure implemented？What does this time refer to？

How do I display how long it has been since a file was last modified?

Show the definition of the column?

Example: How is "16th" implemented?

It's just a hard-coded name of a Label: Configuration | Information | Tags | Label captions and colors

You can do this my right clicking the Modified date column and selecting "Show Age", if you want to display this info in the Label column for some unknown reason you'd have to tag the file with the info but it wouldn't be live info if you did that, ie the age would become stale unlike if you just use the modified column (or a custom column alternative)

"some unknown reason"? The reason is known to me: it's not supported. Labels only support <tag>, <tags>, <cmt>, <ex ...>.

Wouldn't it be cool to extend the support to all <variables>? Technically easy, and maybe an interesting alternative to Custom Columns. You could generate heavy information for specific files. And color-code it. Nice, isn't it?
PS: well, okay, there aren't so many interesting variables that would work here...

Ah you misunderstood what I said, I missed a comma after the word "reason", I was meaning the OP hadn't mentioned why they would want the time/date in the Label column (when it can already be displayed in any of the other columns), not that it was an unknown reason why only tags data were avail for soft Labels.

I guess color coding cells based on data could be useful though, possibly as a feature for custom columns, like spreadsheet conditional formatting.

Ah, what a difference a comma can make!

Yes, color-coding is popular for reasons. I'll consider it.

Punctuation saves lives!


Satzzeichen retten Leben!

"Komm, wir essen Opa!"
"Komm, wir essen, Opa."

Ah ja, kommt mir bekannt vor.
