#2679 RFE: exact times in interface
Closed: Invalid 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by kevin.

Right now various parts of the interface have sort of approximate human readable times... like '2 days ago' or 'an hour ago' or the like. Sometimes it would be very nice to know the precise time of something, for example some FESCo tickets require a voting period of 7 days. If the ticket says "6 days ago" I have no idea when I should check back on it for it to be "7 days ago".

Some ideas:

  • Allow clicking on the human readable vuage times and get a 'YYYY MM DD @ HH MM SS' timestamp.

  • Allow a per user pref to show times in absolute timestamps for a user that set it.

  • Allow a per project pref.

  • Show both. "an hour ago (2017-10-1214:38:02)"


Oh, forgot one:

  • Setup a tooltip with the exact time and when someone hovers over the approximate time in the interface it shows them the exact time. (Github does this). It's kinda poor tho, IMHO as you cannot copy/paste it and it requires you to be using a graphical browser.

You can already hover over the date and it will give you the exact time.

Do you see a place where it doesn't do that?

Huh, weird. I swear it wasn't doing that before... but perhaps I was just oblivious. ;)
