SUMMARY

I never look at the Output tab, but I noticed that it was softly blinking, so I opened it and found these warnings:

```

```

and I have no idea when they were emitted because they have the time but not the date. They could be from yesterday, or the day before or who knows (I often keep Kate open for days and I almost never reboot).

A timestamp should always have the date and time; a time-only timestamp is utterly useless.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use Kate for a while and make sure it has a reason to emit warnings or errors in the Output tab
2. Open the Output tab

OBSERVED RESULT
Warnings have timestamps with only the time of day but no date.


EXPECTED RESULT
Timestamps should include the date and time.

For many people that is useful enough and I am not sure we want a full date there representation wise.
If you want to provide a patch to add that optional, that would be ok for me.

Initial draft for including the date: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/1528/diffs
Need to get a setting to enable this.

Where is the setting? Can't find it on 25.04. Or is it fixed in a later version?

Behavior page. Has been there for several releases now

Oh I see, found it.

I see it's not checked by default, it should be.

The original behavior of not having timestamps is maintained by not having it checked. You can check it for your needs.

I don't understand why you want to keep the less reasonable option as default but whatever.
