files dates ( enhancement )

[stratege1401]

hello,

having two day ago, 7 days ago, 10 days ago for the upload date stamp is, lets say, not usefull for clarity.

A nice clear timestamp might be better:

toto.jpg 7 days ago
vs
toto.jpg 13/07/2018 21:16

sorry, but my motto is clarity, simplicity is always better than anything else

Simplicity and clarity are core design principles of Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com/design :)

And a relative date like 7 days ago is much better than a timestamp, since it directly tells you how long ago it was. Faced with a timestamp, people need to calculate when it was changed, and if it was a month ago or just yesterday.

That’s why we show relative dates by default, and the exact timestamp on hover.
