Date & Time

Controls how file and folder timestamps are displayed in the file list.

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)

Times are displayed in the user's local timezone.

When using the relative format you can override the language used for phrases like “2 days ago” by setting DATE_FORMAT_RELATIVE_LANG (for example de). By default it uses the browser/user locale.
