Thunar file manager doesn't show date column

Post by Alb1 »

Hello, Could you explain me how I can make Thunar show the files date? It shows only Name, Dimension and Type of file notwithstanding I chose the date format in its preferences :-)

I changed File Manager, installing PCmanFM. It has all I need about file dates ... . No problems at all, now :-)

I don't quite understand. I've been using xfce for some time, off and on for a bit and now I'm sticking with it. It has always given me the date column by default when I switch to list view. In multiple ubuntu and mint releases. Did you try View > Configure Columns in Thunar?

Sometimes it (date column or whatever) gets scrolled over; here's the view->configure:
