XYplorer Beta Club

I remember I once set a tweak or something that caused XY to show timestamps with a millisecond resolution. I just tried that out of curiosity, but can't find such option anymore. Any suggestion?
Aside: NTFS has a 100 ns time resolution, do you know of any software which is able to display all that digits? (EDIT: just found here http://digfor.blogspot.de/2008/10/time- ... tamps.html that digits below the ms are basically meaningless)

They might be basically meaningless, but they are there and be retrieved, at least down to the millisecond. To show them in XY run the undocumented SC ::msecs; through the AB. (It's a toggle)

Thank you!
Yes, the bold part is exactly what I said. Since Windows internal clock has a 0.001 seconds resolution, all the digits at the right of the milliseconds have no meaning.

Yes, I see it.

But surprise: the thousands are separated by a blank character? I would have expected a dot

And no chance to get the thousands in scripting? You might allow <date hh:nn:ss.ttt>, same for other dates/times.

But don't get me wrong: just what I think. I don't really need it
(OK: when I think a bit I could... )

Frankly, I never knew of <date hh:nn:ss.ttt>. Cool! I'll add it. Of course!

So the dot is more standard than the blank? I think I added milliseconds display before anybody else. There was no standard back then.

I'd really expect the character for decimal fractions here - for German I'd expect ','. As these are thousands of the seconds.
And I'm sure I saw this format elsewhere. Though I don't remember where...

Yes, makes sense. (I vaguely remember that I chose a space as a separator because it looked better.)

I totally agree with PeterH.
Btw... ... digits below the millisecond might be useless from Windows internal clock pov, but, is there a chance those could be edited (via scripting too) as well? That would be a truly unique feature.

You can already (kind of) edit them now: when you timestamp a file they are set to "000". So, yes: I have full control over them, so could add a way to stamp files down to the milliseconds. Only: who needs this?

Probably very few people around the world, but take George Mallory as example...

“Because it is there.”? Yes, right.
