Comparison of proprieties window of two different version of Dolphin

# SUMMARY

In various parts of Dolphin (Properties window, overwriting window, etc.), timezones are no longer displayed as acronyms. As an Italian user, I now see the three dates (Creation, Modification, and Access) followed by "Ora standard dell’Europa centrale" instead of the more concise "CET". This also causes issues with window width.

The problem shows in various languages.

I have attached an image showing the current display (Dolphin – Version 24.12.3) on the left, and how it used to appear (Dolphin – Version 23.08.5) on the right.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open Dolphin.
2. Right-click on a file.
3. Select "Properties".

# OBSERVED RESULT

The timezone is displayed as "Ora standard dell’Europa centrale".

# EXPECTED RESULT

The timezone should be displayed as "CET".

Longer strings already caused file overwrite dialog to be wider than screen. It is tracked as a Bug 497732

Comment 2 TraceyC 2025-03-21 19:39:39 UTC

I confirm this on Dolphin built from git-master
On the file properties, the timezone I see is "Central Standard Time" rather than CST

Comment 3 elydgolden 2025-03-26 18:25:14 UTC

Can confirm. For a brief time it showed a UTC offset instead of a code, which I personally think is superior, but I can no longer verify in what version that was. In any case it used to show codes and now it shows the full names.
