Format

Date & Time

The date and time format for files/folders displayed in the file tree.

Value	Description
local	Format based on user's localized date format (e.g. 12.1.2024, 04:36:30 in German)
utc	UTC time (e.g. 2021-08-01 12:32:55 UTC)
relative (Default)	Relative time based on user's localized date format (e.g. 2 days ago in English)

All times will be displayed in the user's local timezone.

When using the relative format you can override the language by setting the environment variable DATE_FORMAT_RELATIVE_LANG (e.g. DATE_FORMAT_RELATIVE_LANG=de will output relative times in German). By default it uses the locale of the user.
