Gtk2 File Chooser Modification Time Display Sender: Linux 385

Well I experimented with setting the format string from %x to %c, which should show all file mtime info, but I was always getting 00:00 for HOURS:MINUTES. I looked into the function which is in GLib, that they used to set the date, and it appears to me that it ignores hours and minutes. BUT good news.....I managed to go back to plain old stftime, and below is a sub which works. No gaurantees as to what hidden ramifications it may have, as filechooser interacts with other objects, but it seems to work OK so far for me. So here is the modified sub, which returns a nice sortable time string for all files

* Tree column data callback for the file list; fetches the mtime of a file *static void listmtimedatafunc (GtkTreeViewColumn *treecolumn, GtkCellRenderer *cell, GtkTreeModel *treemodel, GtkTreeIter *iter, gpointer data) { GtkFileChooserDefault *impl; const GtkFileInfo *info; GtkFileTime timemtime; char buf216; struct tm *caltime; gboolean sensitive = TRUE;

impl = data; info = getlistfileinfo (impl, iter);

if (!info) { gobjectset (cell, "text", , "sensitive", TRUE, NULL); return; }

timemtime = gtkfileinfogetmodificationtime (info);

if (timemtime == 0) strcpy (buf, ("Unknown")); else { caltime = localtime(&timemtime); char *format;* format = "%y-%m-%d(%a) %H:%M"; Any other date * format = "%F %T";

* if (gdatestrftime(buf, sizeof (buf), format, &mtime) == 0) strcpy (buf, ("Unknown")); * strftime(buf, sizeof buf, format , caltime); }

Good Luck. I'm using Gtk+-2.8.11 zentara
